Daborn Meister Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Work out when it will end and about 10 minutes before it runs out place your bid Then keep on watching it.Hope i helped.Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Stick what your willing to pay as your highest bid and dont look again till yo know its finished that way you dont pay more than you have. Make sure you use the max bid facility and not just put down the next bid to whats there. So if its at a tenner, dont put 11 put what your max is 60 for example.

Jolfa Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 JustSnipe, you'll never win bidding in the last 10minutes! wait til the last 30seconds at the earliest, or use Justsnipe that'll do it in the last 8 seconds for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As on ebay you put you max bid so someone might put it as 80quid and with 10seconds left it might be at 55quid so if you put 56 in at the last second you won't win even if you was willing to pay more than the 80 he had his max at.Just put what you willing to pay for it and then leave it, if it goes for more then it was to expensive for you. If you get it then your all gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peperami Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Dont bid until about 5 minutes before the auction is going to end. That way you dont pay more than you have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Just put in the highest amount your willing to pay for it at the last 10 seconds. If someone beats you, then they're just willing to pay more than you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
