Sometimes its because they want to win,sometimes its for the sheer hell of it & sometimes they get curious as to how high will the auction go. All it takes is two or three bidders to really want something & the battle has begun. This is why we see stupid prices for things because theres a war on & its damn the cost or casualty of war. Often theres at least one bidder in the war that doesnt want it anymore but they will make sure as hell the other bidder is going to pay stupid money for it.
Right and that's called inflating an auction

Dangerous game though if you end up the highest bidder

This is why I think my third pro (point) for sniping is valid

Placing a snipe forces you to evaluate how much that item is to you

Helps you keep things in perspective better imo
