How to get what you want on e-bay
1. Bid more than anybody else through proxy bidding. This way when
somebody else bids, the system will bid you up (to your max) automatically
when someone else bids. If you want it bad enough, you can get it, but
it may cost you.
2. Learn the fine art of sniping. I live with a longtime e-bay user (my wife)
who has the distinction of a 0 second snipe - it came in and was recognised
some fraction of a second before the auction closed. She did it manually
too. :) There IS sniping software, apparently, too.
3. My wife assures me that EVERYTHING comes around again, btw. Especially
computers. She suggests patience.
4. Finally, to avoid heartache from being sniped, don't assume you have
a thing until you get the notification you won. Until you get that,
the thing isn't yours.
