I know one thing, leading an eBay auction with 15 seconds to go and simply hitting the next automatic bid increment (or is some cases the second one) is a surefire way to lose by 20 cents. I've been stupid enough to do just that.

If you really want the card, just bid an absurd higher amount than you would normally bid. I guarantee you will win. Because, sometimes you gotta say "WTF"

I once was set up to hit my snipe at the last second, but my mouse was on the button above the submit bid button, I think two bids higher (the button on the far right). I clicked the mouse in the last 5 seconds, which apparently everyone else was too, and I ended up winning at about $800 over what I wanted to pay. That was a tough one to pay (but of course I did, it was my dumb A%* that did it). I wish I had lost by 20 cents.
