| Actually, it is slightly more complicated than that. Here are the the possibilities:
1. If $170 is the opening bid and nobody else bids, you will win it for $170. 2. If someone bid exactly $170 and that is the current bid and nobody else bids, then you will win it for $172.50, as Mario indicated. 3. If someone else bid more than $170 and the current bid is $170, then there is no way to know ahead of time what you would win it for if nobody else bid. The winning bidder could have bid $600, for example, in which case you would lose and he would win for $600. See eBay's bidding help page at http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/aboutbidding.html |

| To be more correct, it's the current high bid + bid increment, so in this case it would be 172.50. | |

| $180, unless if multiple item auction, in which case the calculation is more complicated. | |

| Hi, the current bid of an item I wanted is $170. As the item is quite expensive, I expect the price to soar to >$600. I was wondering if I put in a bid of $600 in Gixen.com and no one actually bidded for this item, will I get it for $180 or $600? | |
