It is always worth considering the scores of the other bidders. If their score is under 20 and even under 100 chances are they are still learning the ropes. Just lurk ( "watch" ) as they edge the price slowly upwards. Chances are that you can snipe the auction in its dying seconds. When doing this remember you only get one shot and it needs to be late enough and high enough to block out any other sniper. |

Buy it now prices are often - tho not always - absurdly high. They are the eBay equivalent of buying a used car from a used car biz rather than the auction. Same result but one is cheaper. |
