5. The most satisfying tactic in all Ebay is the sucker punch. Let some nibbler think they have crept past my proxy, then snipe them

My personal Favorite!!

I am one who will sometimes proxy bid first, I do it to *test the waters* and many have tried to change my ways, but it works for me and I have often won on my proxy bid which has always made me extremely happy because that means I have won super cheap!!! In my mind, I like to think that if I hadnt proxy bid and just sniped, I would of paid more as some other nibbler might have come along and started the bid war up again.
