How does proxy bidding work at an online auction?
You enter the most you'd happily pay, and Hunters bids for you automatically — only ever as much as needed to keep you on top, up to your maximum. Nobody sees your maximum: not the seller, not other bidders. If your maximum is $100 and the next bidder stops at $60, you pay around $65, not $100.
