Just curious. If you search for "Sting Concert Chicago" you will see a group of bids for the concert, mine included.
One person has bid to $127.50 for 2 tickets; my tickets are Buy it NOW for $100.
Why would a bidder OVERBID for a product that has a BIN for $100. Can't figure this out.

He might be new on Ebay. Might not understand how BIN works. Might be afraid of BIN. I frankly think BIN is misnamed; a better name would be something that indicates you've ended the auction with the bid amount the seller has asked for. "Now" is misleading, I think.

Maybe the other tickets are better seats. Or maybe they bid before you put your tickets on. I do not try and understand bidders.

It's called the "Stupid Tax". We all end up paying it sometime in our lives; some people just choose to pay it on Sting tickets!
