<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 819127, member: 13650&quot;]That was a beauty.&nbsp; Sorry about that.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; We all get out bid sometimes.&nbsp; My advice to you is, if you&#039;re strictly in a bidding situation, you do NOT want to be the guy sitting there, currently winning it as time ticks down.&nbsp; <b>You will lose at least 90% of the time on nice stuff such as this.</b>&nbsp;&nbsp; If it&#039;s something obscure with not a lot of attention, ok.&nbsp; You might have a chance.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; But something real popular, you will get outbid every time.&nbsp; When people are not winning, and they have time to think about it, emotions take over and they will bid it up at the last second and beat you.&nbsp;&nbsp; That&#039;s how the game works.&nbsp;&nbsp; You&#039;re only making yourself pay more if you don&#039;t wait until the very last second to bid.&nbsp;&nbsp; Because at that point, you could possibly beat out somebody who didn&#039;t know you were even there.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you enter it with an hour left and it&#039;s just sitting there at that price, somebody will come in and beat you.&nbsp;&nbsp; As I&#039;ve said before, you CANNOT give people time to think about it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;If you really want to get dirty, use bidsniper.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; Sorry sellers.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Enter the auction number, your highest bid, and when you want it to bid for you.&nbsp; (1 to 2 seconds left).&nbsp;&nbsp; Then walk away.&nbsp;&nbsp; You don&#039;t have to be there for when the auction ends.&nbsp; It does what you could do if you were sitting there.&nbsp; I&#039;ve done it both ways and this method works well.&nbsp; &nbsp; Granted, you will not have time to get a second bid in, so give it all you got to clear out whoever is currently winning at the end.&nbsp;&nbsp; This isn&#039;t a 100% successful method but you will win many more auctions.&nbsp; (Most people bid in the minimum increments with not a lot of cushion on the high side.)</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Again, don&#039;t even bother bidding until the very end.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Somebody will almost always justify paying more to beat you if you&#039;re sitting there with the current high bid towards the end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
