eBay live thoughts?

I've been getting into eBay live lately. The auctions are a bit of fun, some good buys now and then. But I'm a bit conflicted by it all and not sure if I'm just getting onboard with the hype.

Interested to see what your experiences are and how you find it all?

It seems to me that it's always the same handful of people bidding and driving prices up (likely mid 40's with disposable income 😂). It just gets a bit... boring?

The penny drops also seem to go to the same handful of people over and over again (are they running bots?)

It's also crazy seeing that buyers are paying 10-25% (or more) over listings elsewhere. I just don't get it 😂

Anyway, what do you all think about it?
