Hi:

I love ebay.  I have both sold and bought there.  I also like to snipe auctions.  There are programs out there that will bid for you.  You can set it so that it bids in the last 7 seconds of the auction.  What this means, is that the last minute of the auction, you place a bid....and often win.  The program I use charges 1 per cent of the sale.  So if it is highly coveted item, I use it.  If I am the only bidder, or perhaps one other bidder, I just use the proxy bidding by ebay.
