judysueMember

So, would it be safe or a good strategy for winning at the most I'm willing to pay for an item)to make my auctionsniper maxium bid the HIGHEST possible price I would actully be willing to pay or opossbily 1 cent or maybe even up to a dollar more, so I would have the bwst odds of getting it at my desired price or less?
Thx for advice (lost my last one)

My system is to place a snipe at the most that I would be willing to pay, not counting shipping (although that is really part of the total that one pays). I really do not worry about what other bidders will bid. The only reason that you lost was because someone was willing to pay more than you wanted to.

edit to correct typo.

Place a nuclear bid (eg. 1,000,000) - you will always win unless someone else bids the same plus a bit more!
