I think it varies on how popular an item is. I saw a Santana tandem (small size, hard to find), jump from $21k to $26 in 10 minutes.
On the other hand, if it is somewhat easy to acquire, I have seen bids from days before win. I bought a Norco Torrent in amazing condition, and I was the only bidder above $500. The guy wisely set the Reserve at an acceptable sale price of $1200.

I don't bid until the last 6 seconds. Ebay is not like a traditional auction where people bid until one quits, there is a time limit.
I have a price in mind, I bid that prince in the last 6 seconds and I either win, or I don't. There is always some jackass willing to outbid me by $.25, so why show your hand until last call?

I'm one of those bastards that uses bidsnipe to get the last 1 second bid.
yeah Ebay is a nerve racker sometimes, to get the best price you have to roll with it and do a no reserve auction also try to make sure it ends when theres a alot of people on.I set my auctions to end around noon CST so I can catch slackers on both coasts (who usually bid higher than middle america). I get all the Cali's & PNW's surfing before lunch and the Easties surfing right after lunch.

Nah, I use the websites out there. There are dozens of them that provide the same service, and they work quite well.narlus said:
I was going to try one a while ago, but I never got around to it.robdamanii said:
i used auctionwatch (i think) and it worked fine but only gave you like 3 freebies until you had to pay...and it was on the basis of the auction value, not just a set fee.robdamanii said:
which ones are free ones that you recommend?
I have used eSnipe with good result. It is $.01 per $1 of the final value, but only if you win.narlus said:
I like it because I set it and then try not to worry about it too much. I set it as high as I am willing to pay (first thought, not "I would pay a little more...") and let it ride.
