I have learned
this myself so I am now bidding $X + 2 cents, that give me
the edge over the " + 1 cent " crowd.. <<< GRIN >>> !!
What now? Bidding up the $X + n cents edge? <<< BIGGER GRIN >>>!
Have fun with it, from one who varies his $X + n cents and keeps it a
secret ;-), Chris

Christian Fandt,
I agree with having fun on eBay, it is a lot of fun sometimes..
Also have had a lot of fun seeing how close I can get to the end of the
auction, like kicking in my maxim bid at exactly 5 seconds remaining..
Depending on the traffic load on eBay server at the time, I have scored a
bid (Victory) with only 1 second remaining.. (Can you heard the crowds
cheer). Sometimes I have also lost this way because the server on eBay was
running slow and I got the very unpleasant notice that "The bidding is now
closed on this item" << GRIN >>..
Seriously though if you see something you really want I suggest not to bid
on it till the last 15 seconds, then place your maximum bid. Bidding early
will only drive the price higher..
In a way all auctions on eBay are sealed bids simply because you do not know
what someone else will bid in the last few seconds.. And in that respect
its kinda fun..
So I say if you want to play the eBay game, better play the same way others
do..
So have fun...
Phil..
