This has always been a curiosity to me. When you set your bid on ebay, just set it to whatever you are willing to spend and whatever increment you want to go with. The only 'strategy' is simply to bid a few dollars beyond common even numbers so that if someone sets their limit at $450 and you set yours at $452, they'll see 'outbid' and likely give up. By rebidding over and over, it loses me. What did you stand to gain? Either something is worth 'x' dollars or it isn't. Just set to 'x' and let it fly. You only have to pay your max if the bidding continues to increment and since you already decided that 'x' was your max, there's no need to be constanly twiddling with the auction. This and the fact that used items with no warranty sell for more than the actual retail price of the item new always amuse me about ebay. -- ___ ______ _____ __ ________ ___ / _ |< < / == / ___/__ / /_ /_ __/ / __ ____ _ ___ /__ \ / __ |/ // / ****/ (_ / _ \/ __/ / / / _ \/ // / ' \/ _ \ /__/ /_/ |_/_//_/ == \___/\___/\__/ /_/ /_//_/\_,_/_/_/_/ .__/ (_) 8600 miles*Russel Lines*Supertrapp Race* /_/ http://www.kingsqueak.org/klr650/> So I haul butt up the street, grab my son by the scruff of the neck and > hauled freight back down to the house. 5 minutes to go, the bike is still > below my max. and my mouse finger is starting to get sweaty. 2 minutes to > go, I poke it with a 'silent bid' to see where it was sitting.
