I got good at timing it out manually but the snipper apps work well. If u go manual use odd amounts like $51.01. I won a lot of auctions for a penney over the last bidder. Don't run it up durring the auction put it on your watch list and only bid at the last few seconds. There is no reason to run it up any higher than you have to. I got close to a thousand positive feedbacks and was on eBay when no one knew what it was and there is almost a science to it.

The higher bidder prevails. If they bid the same amount, then the first bid in prevails.

I try to do the same,by bidding at the last minute.A few days ago I tried to win a couple rod holders and waited for the last few seconds,put one bid in and was the winner for a second,but someone beat me to it when I waited a bit to long to up my bid.
In the end I was glad I lost,because I got caught up in a craze and left my common sense at the door.
Sometimes,I think it's more about beating the other person than it is about getting the item for a good price.For a moment I lost my grip on reality by bidding way more than I had planned to.

Very true! I sell alot on eBay and many times I can tell by the ridiculous bidding amounts that the bidding was fueled by emotion. Good for me, though! Figure on your highest bid and let it go. I sometimes have to resist the temptation to get caught up in the bidding. That's why is use that service. I put in my highest bid and forget about it.
