Yes I know ebay does this, but it still comes down to two people bidding
against each other in the last seconds of the auction - unless one sets
their max bid much higher, in which case you could end up paying a lot
more
for something than you wanted to.  Also, in the last minutes, some
people
will just keep bidding until they are the highest bidder - and if you
aren't
watching the end of the auction, tough.
