I never ever ever bid on anything I want until the last 50 seconds or so.. why the hell would I bid on something 6 days from when it ends only to know that I need to watch and rebid again later?

The rule of thumb is to bid your absolute max you'd pay at about 40 seconds left.. it normally always wins me what I want because the person who was winning doesn't know that I just increased the next bid by another 20-50 dollars - they just assume I threw up another dollar or whatever its going by for increments..

I recently won 3 auctions from someone else who owned a Contour -- he had been winning all 3 for the last 5 days and right at the end I took it all - 1 auction after the other until I got everything.. He sent me evil hate mail and tried to make me feel guilty because he really did need the parts.. I just laughed because obviously he didn't realize that it is an auction, you need to outwit everyone else and I needed the parts too otherwise I wouldn't have bid on them.

I'm a freaking ebay MASTER.




LOL, you got skills man!
