Joe D.that is the way to handle an eBay auction - bid high bid at the very end of the auction.
but that is also why I appreciate 'normal' auctions with the 15 minute rule.... it at least gives me a second chance and an opportunity on an item - and I don't have to play beat the clock.
with regard to the reserves, I wish I had known about that strategy of upping your max bid until the reserve trips... there have been a few auctions that did not meet the reserve that I would have gone higher on - I just never knew how. I always thought I needed a competing bidder to get me to the reserve.
