Why do people often get caught up in bidding wars, even when the item exceeds its market value? Is it the thrill, competition, or something deeper?

People often perceive auctions as a game, where the goal shifts from acquiring the item to defeating others. The social pressure and time constraints amplify emotions, leading to irrational decisions. It’s less about the product and more about the psychological high of being the "last one standing."

The thrill of competition, combined with the fear of losing out, can make even the most rational person overbid. Interestingly, platforms like 123greetings https://123greetings.pissedconsumer.com/review.html showcase how user experiences vary, but in auctions, the focus is often on the moment rather than long-term value. Whether it’s a rare collectible or a simple item, the auction environment creates a unique blend of urgency and desire, making it hard to resist the urge to keep bidding, even when it no longer makes sense.
