eBay secrets???

[teamexileracing]

So whats everyones ebay secrets on winning actions. I was looking at my ebay acount and looking at all the stuff i won for my warrior and i was wondering what other people do to win.

My secret is to bid once or twice low on the first couple days then put my highest bid that i would want to pay for it on the last or second to last day. That way it makes people think i still bid low. And in the end if noone out bids me i pay what there highest bid was instead of what mine is. And i hate dealing with the action part of loosing at the last second so i just bid a couple hours before the end and check it the next day so im not as dissapointed hahaha.

If it's somthing I want I add it to my watch list and check on it daily not making any bids so I don't contribute to driving the price up. If the price should go higher then I intended to spend I may never put a bid on it. I usually place the first bid if the price is not too high in the last min or so, then F5 to refresh every couple of seconds. I only lost a few auctions this way, but get the last laugh knowing I made that person spend more. Also keep a good eye for the number of purchases the high bidder has, usually their beginners and the first ones to place a bid days before the auction ends, and seem to be free spenders not understanding ebay well.

Last minute baby..watch it the whole time then run it up as much as im willing to pay..works every time as long as i am commited to the item

It's really more like what ever you're willing to spend. I don't bid on it until the last min or so. I like to watch items if I'm interest and then wait for a couple to be won and see how much I'll have to pay to win a like auction. I find paying more then half the cost of a used item that is in good condition is all I'll usally go.
Thats the best I got.

In the last hour of the auction I throw out tester bids to try and figure out what the previous bidders max bid was, i go up a couple dollars at a time. Once im high bidder I wait till the last 30 seconds and put my max bid in, and once it hits 10 seconds i actually bid it. I win 99% of the stuff I bid on this way. Its fun screwing somebody out of something at the last second.

Actualy i think ive only lost like 15 actions in my time on ebay and they were all for paintball stuff like 5 years ago when i was a newb to ebay. Ive never lost anything that i was really commmited to on ebay for my warrior with my method, well as i know of.
