[OT] Buying on eBay

In Response To: Whoa! up to $41 now!!! (Hamish Sinclair)

: How bad do you want this?

This may be a touchy subject, but you really shouldn't bid on anything interesting on eBay until the last second. Anything with geek appeal sells in the last few minutes anyway, so unless you're willing to put in a bid that is so high nobody would be dumb enough to outbid you then you aren't going to get that rare copy of "America's Funniest Home Videos - Best of Footballs and Groins" that you've been waiting for. In my experiece the price is going to go up 20% in the last hour regardless of where it starts, so you're better off not contributing to the early bidding, it'll just mean you end up paying more if you win.

Anyway, just some advice from an oldtimer - your mileage may vary, offer not valid in Nar controlled space.
