... set your maximum bid - set a snipe for 4seconds...
i won an item over this recently - someone upped my bid by $.03 within 3 seconds time of auction's end. good thing i kept my eyes glued to the screen and another, higher, bid was already entered in the field - i just hit enter and won. if not for that, the bloody sniper would've gotten my item. i only realized all of this after it was over and i looked at the bidding history - there's no way anyone could outbid you by $.03 a couple of seconds before an end without third party assistance. fuck that, i'll win anyway =))
worth to mention that recently i've finally started to win stuff on ebay. many of the tecniques were picked up on here, most notably, from subtle comments of CoppiThat. so cheers man! =))
