But, I sell more than I buy on eBay...and always have my items ending on a Sunday night after 8pm (I figure most parents have the kids tucked away in bed so they can get ready to bid then as well!) ... I LOVE watching people snipe my items! hehe I have 26 things ending tonight and I can't wait to see the bidding wars!
Reading this I realise I really need to get a life....wonder if eBay sells that?!?!
I will put a low bid when I first see it, the I will watch and see how it goes. If I really want it then i will bid again with a min to go and then leave it until the last moment possible. The key to that though is knowing how fast your computer and internet work because sometimes if you leave it one sec too long, you will miss out.
I have used sniping software and felt like a cheat, so now I just watch until the last day and put in my max bid. I don't want to spark a bidding war, so that's why i like the wait and see approach.
