Dan BrettaI usually snipe on ebay because I know there are collectors of the same items I collect who follow my ebay bidding. Sometimes I will place an early bid on an high profile item in the hopes that it will discourage the seller from ending the auction early. On an auctionhouse auction I will place early bids, but never my ceiling bid until the auction is nearing the end. I got outbid on both items I was interested in in the Mastro auction last night in the extended bidding period and I lost both of them because one person was willing to go one step higher than me.
