I agree. I'm also not sure if people are retarded or it is just the way they edit it for time but it will be like starting bid $500. $10,000! its like are you retarded! or they will go 1500, 3500, 7,000! I have a feeling they edit that to make it seems more exciting.I have been watching, it's fun. People frustrate me with how much they spend in the first round. The last one I saw had a girl winning with $18k left so she did pretty good. Other guys were battling it out while she sat quietly in the middle.
