I am bidding on a lovely Ovation guitar on ebay and there is like one more day left on it. Thing is i havent bid yet, im just watching it and funny enough noone else but 2 ppl have bid on it. I dont want to bid and start some price war that'll go above my limit. what i do is wait till the last 10 seconds and snap it up. Other ppl have the same i dea i guess and i can just imagine dozens of other ppl on their PCs watching and hoping some butthead doesnt start bidding on it. If anyone does it'll rock the boat SERIOUSLY and others will start bidding like crazy.

TO make matters worse i dont have a PC at home so i'm gonna spend the night at the office tomorrow :D. Ive been watching it all day, cant think of anything else, should be working but cant, i just...cant!!!

THE TENSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When people try to 'snipe' auctions it can actually drive prices up.

Can't you set it to bid automatically up to your specified limit?

I freakin hate bidding on ebay. I had my heart broke too many times :p . I only do buy it now. I also hate when you think you have a great deal, but it turns out that you only find someone has set a maximum bid higher and you lose. :(

Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

Only 8 more hours to go. I would actually set it to automatically bid but im scared someone will just bid higher. Its now at $41, some dirty bugger just added $10 to the price with 8 hrs to go. Dunno why anyone would let an ovation go for that low though.
