Mountains of Wealth
"Ah…you sly devil. That's quite devious," Caz praised John's actions. "But what if she figures you out and you lose out on a large bid?" he asked.
"That's simple then. I only plan to bid on things I truly want, and I'll bid up to my absolute maximum I'm willing to spend on the item. If Vivian outbids me, then I get to drain her funds by overspending on item after item, and if she eventually figures me out, it's just me overspending on a single item I want, which at that point she'll be much more wary to bid against me. This should make the future prices on items I want more reasonable, as she won't want to get into a bidding war against me once she knows my intentions of draining her funds. Either way, I win," John explained his thoughts to Caz.
