Re: OT Question re: eBay

Use a snipe service and bid only what you are willing to pay. For example say you are willing to pay $100.00 for something. Place your bid with a snipe service, it will automatically place your bid at the last second. If the second highest bidder places a high bid of $50.00 then you win the item by the next increment.

There's no point of continually bidding during an eBay auction. In this manner you will drive the price up. Only bid your max bid at the last second. Either manually or with a snipe service. This way you may get the item at a nice price. If someone bids higher then you then you don't deserve to win anyway. In this manner of bidding you only bid your max bid once. If you bid your max at the beginning of the auction if it's a popular item you will not win it.

When I truly wanted something on eBay, I've never lost bidding this way. I've actually put a $1000.00 max bid on something once and paid less then $20.00 dollars for it. But I was willing to pay the $1000.00 if I won it.

Forget about the increment bidding, this way you really won't win many auctions and when you do you pay top dollar. Plus a sniper with a high bid usually wins at the last second anyway.

Then of course there's the buy now option. If the item you want has that, use it, if you think the price is fair.
