Reply to "Jamming Ebay during the last seconds of an Auction..."

Hey there! I am new to ebay and new to esnipes. I am confused about how the $ works...
How do I plan on a bid amount for the last few seconds of the auction? I am currently looking at 3 sewing machines--a serger, a regular machine, and an embroidery machine. All look like I could get a terrific deal, but If there are more sites like esnipes, I could easily be out bid. the increments currently are pretty small--like $3-$5. so, do I up my bid to the max I will pay, or do I take my chance with just a $10 increase?? what do you that have experience do? also, if I list a max $, is that the bid placed, or does esnipes just increase the previous increment? .....I'm so confused.......

thanks for your help!
