Sniping...
#2General Comment
Sun, August 07, 2011
Experienced eBay users have a tactic called sniping. I personally use two computers. I will have one computer set to the item I want to buy and the countdown timer. I will use the other one for constant refreshing to to see if the item's price is going up. With that setup I can quickly outbid anyone who is trying to get an item that I need.
Of course, there is also sniping software out there which takes the labor out of it.
