Reply #16: Part of the adrenaline rush is placing that last-second bid. [View All]

If it's a rare item that I absolutely must have, that's the way I do it. If it's something that I know I can find again easily enough, I'm not so specific. I do a lot less bidding these days due to plain old economics, but in the good old 90's I was quite the expert sniper. I used to say there's nothing longer than an Ebay minute when you're counting down the seconds. And it's kind-of exciting as a seller, too, when your item shoots up in the final moments!

Sorry you got outbid, but now you know the strategy for next time. :)
