Very correctly said.

In an auction, if some people end up buying an item for a ridiculously high
price, they have done so in an attempt to prevent someone else from buying
the item. If they don't regret their action later, as Jinx put it, they are
"people with more money than sense"!
Auction companies do need such people!!

Bala
