Guys, especially new guys, Winning on Ebay is not rocket science, You can place your maxium bid and be done with it, and say, "That's it" I'm not bidding any higher" or you can wait until last minute, the smart way to win. There are actually sniping programs that will get your bid in with seconds to spare if you have no other tools. What I see and is just ridiculous is bidding up items with 5 days left in the aucton. The only one that wins is the seller. Why jack up an item. If you don't want to put the item in your watch list, then place a bid, any bid, Don't jack up the price of a normally 100 dollar item to 300 dollars. It's stupid. Bid Smart. Me, personally, if I see an item I want, I'll get it. I'll wait until last minute and bid what ever it takes to win it. But, I will not get into a bidding war with someone 5 days out.
The best place to buy IMO is the classifieds. I've seen razors worth maybe 75 bucks go for 300 bucks.
I'm thinking, Man, You could buy a Livi NOS or somthing nice. To top it all off, It's so hard to tell from PICS in EBay, I guess as long as you use Paypal you can get your money back. Anyway, What I'm trying to say is, If you bid on EBay as many of us do, Don't jack up the bidding 5 days out, We all lose..
