1. Bid more than anybody else through proxy bidding.
This way when
somebody else bids, the system will bid you up (to your max) automatically
when someone else bids. If you want it bad enough, you can get it, but
it may cost you.
Jep, but to be shure, it has to be high, real high :(
2. Learn the fine art of sniping. I live with a
longtime e-bay user (my wife)
who has the distinction of a 0 second snipe - it came in and was recognised
some fraction of a second before the auction closed. She did it manually
too. :) There IS sniping software, apparently, too.
Just a NO. Maybe I'm stupid and old fashionated,
but sniping is just not possible.
3. My wife assures me that EVERYTHING comes around
again, btw. Especially
computers. She suggests patience.
Jep, but this lot was real neat.
(And the next will be the one with the SC/MPs .. sigh).
I don't know if this will be around again, so nicly bundled
4. Finally, to avoid heartache from being sniped,
don't assume you have
a thing until you get the notification you won. Until you get that,
the thing isn't yours.
Sag but true.
