eBay tip ...
try esnipe.com -
You can set it to automatically bid 6 seconds before the end of an eBay auction, and you are free to change your mind up to the last minute. You can also bid on a group of the same item, and it will stop bidding when it wins one for you. One of the good things about using it, is that it doesn't alert anyone that someone is interested, so it avoids bidding wars. Put your maximum in and sit back and wait. It costs very little to use, you just buy some points up front and renew every once in a while. They do need your eBay password so they can bid for you, which scares the Internet Timid. I've been using it for a year or so, it really helps get some good deals. It will also send you an email alert I think 90 minutes before the end of an auction if you've been outbid already. You can then up your bid or fahgettaboudit.
