What's your go-to bidding strategy on eBay?

<p>[QUOTE="Volante, post: 2070835, member: 57279"]I also use gavelsnipe (entering my max bid), and set my bid at an odd change price. There's another strategy I use on certain coins, that sounds somewhat similar to your #2. If I see a coin that was set with a starting price equal to or slightly below the market value, I immediately place my max bid and do not snipe. For example, let's say there's a common-date Morgan dollar for which the seller has set a starting price of $20, and market value is around $25. It's in my best interest to bid immediately, because then other potential bidders will see that someone has bid on the coin. They will then be more likely to assume that they no longer have a chance of getting a good deal and that it's not worth their time to bid. I stand a much better chance of getting that $25 coin for $20 than I would if I tried to snipe it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
