I think they are playing on sunk costs as much $0.60 not feeling like really spending money. If you've already bid a couple of times on an item, it makes sense to bid a few more at the end. I can see how it could get addicting, and in that sense play on very similar emotions, etc of a casino. But that's not enough to fall under casino legislation.
