As a bidder who wants to be successful, you work against your own interests by leaving sufficient time after your bid for that self-deception process to play out with someone else. Don't pay a penny more than you decide is worthy - you know better than that - but don't make that bid until the last minute. If you end up winning the item for cheap, it would have gone for even cheaper - and netted the seller even less - had you not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
