Do you bid last minute or right away?

[sharbear508]

Just curious about when buyers like to bid - as soon as they see the auction and know they want the item, or last minute as the last seconds are ticking away?

Last few seconds if I can with a high bid. I've only ever lost out once.

I have auctionsniper.com do the bidding for me, 5 seconds before the auction ends. That way I don't have to worry about a slow computer connection!

I bid last few seconds, Bidmate does this for me. If you bid before you are just pushing the price up

Last minute. It's the best strategy.

 

[blu^tulip]

Definitely last few seconds, i mean aren't we on ebay to snap up deals.

Has anyone ever had a sniper program not work???

 

[twiggers]

Last few seconds!

 

[MomOTwins]

I bid in the last few seconds, too.

 

[sharbear508]

Does everyone bid in the last few seconds on their own or with the use of a sniper???

I bid last few seconds too. Which makes me wonder, who are these people bidding early and jacking up prices?

I bid on the last few seconds on my own...
I prepare 2 or 3 windows ready to confirm at the last seconds.
Just heard of the sniper or a program that will bid for you...hmmm

yup! I hate it when some even try to out bid each other
and its still days before the auction ends.

The last few seconds for me. If i bid ahead of time (product with no bids), it seems as if someone always ups my bid by a-lot even before the auction ends. I try to "Buy it now" as much as possible so i am not dissapointed.

i bid as close to the end of the auction as I can.
