bidding war

Something that comes about when two or more idiots want something so badly that they lose all finesse in trying to get it. When egos get involved in trying to buy something and drive the price up.

Mac got in a biding war over the Harley and ended up paying three times what it was worth. Their house sold for double what anything else in that neighborhood has ever gone for because two relatives got in a bidding war over it.

shill bidding

Most commonly referenced on eBay, shill bidding is when the seller of an item has a third party bid on their item solely with the intent of driving the price up and not for the purpose of buying the product.

Shill bidding is very popular with items such as cars and electronics. Individuals involved in shill bidding can sometimes be spotted on sites such as eBay by looking through a buyers betting history and comparing the number of items bet on compared with the number of items won (typically the number of items won is extremely lower than items bet on).

Normally a shill bidder is either a friend of the seller, a paid associate, or simply just a separate personal account of the seller. Shill bidding can be successful for its purpose due to the fact that if the third party shill bidding is the winner of the auction, he/she will simply be reimbursed by the seller for the purchase price and a re-listing of the item may occur.

Shill bidding can result in legal action if a serious enough infringement and/or a series of infringements occur.

Mike wanted to sell his car on eBay but he worried that the selling price might be lower than what he'd hoped, so he made sure two of his friends were shill bidding on it to help him out.

Panic Bidding

The act of bidding on an item in an auction setting in desperation or anxiety of weather someone else will purchase the item you have become emotionally engaged in.

Paying too much for an item on ebay because it is rare and the audience is so wide spread you feer someone else will win the item. Other examples include Barrett-Jackson auction and over paying for a classic car because of egos and money. I was panic bidding on the ferrari because it was a great deal and there were too many other bidders and was afraid of being a loser.
