As long as you are willing to pay that amount, then that’s what you should bid. Don’t forget, there might be someone else that’s thinking the same thing and will bid $34.99. So, if you don’t mind spending $35, then have at it.quote:Based on this, is it a good idea to set 5 snipes for every item with a very high max bid (around $35 or more)

The item will mostly likely appear in another auction, and it’s very likely to sell for less, especially with the big spenders spending big. If winning is the most important thing, then bid high. If price is the most important thing, then bid low. A good rule of thumb: if you are winning all, or a high percentage, of your auctions, you are probably paying more then you need to, unless money is no object and time is. Also, although patience takes time, on ebay it can save money.
