Hmmm.
Isn't that contradictory advice?
Bid the highest you'll pay
BUT wait until the last 5 minutes to see if you want to up it again. ;-)
And real snipers (live or via bots) don't get in there before 5 seconds to the end of the auction. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Which is why using a service like esnipe (or bidnip that was also recommended upthread) is the way to go.
And then just go to sleep and don't worry about it. :D :D :D
