randi have always be amused, amazed, and disappointed with the prices people pay on ebay. i'm amused when the bidder always ups his bid when outbid instead of waiting till the close of the auction. i'm amazed when i see people buying "BIN" cards from ebay stores and pay stupid prices. I'm disappointed when some buyers just bid rediculous prices for cards that i collect and when i go to sell the same card i can't get 1/2 of the previous selling price.
none the less, what is the best tactic...
1. place your initial bid when you first see the card at your max price
2. place a small bid to keep track of it and be there for the final seconds to place your real bid
3. place your max bid with a snipe
4. don't bid till the last 20 seconds so other ebayers will not know who's in the mix (if you don't have a snipe program, like me)
even with the hidden identities you can still figure out who's in the game
