I think you can raise that from the realm of theory to established fact! When people see something they want and start bidding on it, and then somebody else outbids them, it's very tempting to keep bidding higher in order to get the item. This is easy to do especially if the price is only going up by a couple of dollars at a time. They get caught up in the excitement and competition of winning the bid, and start to lose sight of how much the thing is actually worth.
