Visitor counter going bananas

in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
Listed a few items this morning, and on one of them the visitor counter has gone bananas - up to several hundred in the first 5 mins. Can't possibly be "genuine" (human) visits - are there automated searches which pick up certain listings? :confused:

    I wondered whether it was because it was a 99p auction with "no reserve" in the title.

    Could it be more collectable / desirable than you thought?
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    I guess it must be. Strange, I just obviously haven't got eBay figured out just yet :o
