Why is it that people even bother to bid some ridiculously low bid with 4 or 5 days left on an ebay auction? If you know it's something that's going to sell for $200 or something, why bid $10 with 5 days left?

They're called "just in casers". Just in case an item doesn't get seen by anyone else.
Also, some people want to submit a bid "just in case" they forget about it. Then when it nears closing, they will get an e-mail reminding them to bid.

The only thing I can figure about that is maybe the bidder is either a total newbie to bidding, or they hope that by bidding--others will think--well why bother, someone else wants it and is going to stick with it and get it.
Or they may go in and bid something high like $25 on a $3.00 item and a person coming in bids, bids again, then again and gets nowhere and finally gives us. That's risky for the original bidder though.
