Anyone out there other than me think that this is the most bizarre bidding they have ever seen for a common jersey?

Looks like someone is trying to be as stingy as possible.

How can you bid in one-cent increments? I thought you had to bid for a cheap item such as this in $1.00 or $2.50 increments?

I remember in the early days of eBay when items that had over 50 bids would be on a hot list for more exposure. Then eBay realized items such as this Cubs jersey do not deserve any more exposure.

The guy who bid in one-cent increments was already the high bidder. He's got lots of feedback, and I have absolutely NO idea what he was doing!!!

Oh I see, he was increasing his bid one cent at a time. Hoping to find the hidden reserve.

Maybe the bidder was just a little on the obsessive compulsive side.

How about two guys on one shirt...

Auctions like these are why I set a snipe, walk away, and wait for the email.
So much easier and less stressful than the alternative.

Agreed. I cant understand why anyone bids on anything early anymore. It drives me crazy when I'm interested in an item and I see the bid rising days before it ends. Snipes are absolutely the way to go.

The only reason to bid early is on no-reserve, low-open items with Buy-it-Now...to kill the BiN.
