    Either be at the computer or sign up for a sniping service.

    The thing is that even if you snipe, you are not assured that you will win. That goes to the highest bidder.

    Sniping is just a late proxy bid, but if the earlier bidder put in a sniper proof bid.

    So, put in the most money you want to spend, even if you are sniping.

    A buddy of mine simply says, "just get in there and bid as much as you want to spend on it the first time and let it ride...don't keep checking it and don't keep upping your bid...if you win it, you win it...if you lose it, you lose it but you're never going to be tempted into spending more than you thought it was worth."

    I've been in several ebay auctions where you could see people trying to inch up on the high bid a dollar at a time. Not worth the trouble...
