Well...to be fair, eBay /does/ have that 'bidding gnome' thing.  The idea is
that
you tell it the maximum you want to pay for the set, and it does the bidding
for
you so you don't have to watch it.  This is why the final bid is usually only

I guess there's no reason why you couldn't do that in lugnet auctions,
if you tell the seller how much you'll go up to, and the seller is
willing to do the auction that way.
