No need to try to snipe either. Just bid the highest amount you would possibly pay for the card, an amount you absolutely wouldnt pay 1 penny more if someone was breaking your arm, then if you get outbid, no regrets, and you don't have to try to outbid someone else either.
You might get it for less than your top amount too.

Thank you!
If somebody is willing to pay more for an item than you are, it doesn't matter if they place their bid at the start of the auction or with one second left to go. I understand it's a strategy thing - I do it myself sometimes - and if the item is a rare one, losing out on it can be very frustrating. But the fact of the matter is that even if you wind up losing by one increment over your top bid,
you have absolutely no idea what the guy's max bid was.
