probably hoping the other guy gets distracted for a few minutes. Like @MapleDots says, its easy to get distracted and come back and its over. Happens to me all the time too.
Strange.... seems more like 2 proxy bids fighting it out in slow motion??? Is it possible if two people put in $10,000 proxies, that the system would count all the way down to 0s and then refresh to the next level??

No, it was one proxy (up to a bit over $7K) being jacked up by another bidder, and then at $7300 it started moving in base increments, which means manual bids.
I was in the same boat - if someone wants to outbid me, then go for it as I wasn't going to get in a bidding war. It was easily the lowest-rated of my $20 lottery tickets.
I don't think there were any winners or losers on this one, but I just had to post that image.
