<p>[QUOTE="RaceBannon, post: 991425, member: 25357"]When I first started bidding on EBay, I'd get frustrated at being outbid by snipers, now I realize it's just part of the game. If you can't beat 'em join 'em. Now I wait until the last 30 seconds or so before submitting my bid. If it's an item I really want, I'll bid a certain percentage over the last bid showing, and set my cap at the red book price for a given coin. </p><p>Using this method more often than not, I'll win the item, but some sniper almost always bumps the price up by a fraction in the last few seconds of the auction. I generally end up paying around Greysheet bid for most coins, and every now and then, I'll get a great deal. The worst I can do using this method is pay redbook for a coin. That doesn't happen too often, but on occasion, you'll see some bidders go over Red-Book to win a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
