Default Being outbid on ebay...

I really hate it when it gets down to within the last hur and somebody bids ONE FREAKING DOLLAR over you. Then you say, "It's just a dollar" and you bid one more over them...and they still turn out ahead of you.

I just want my Palm Zire 21!

what I always do is I decide what my max is...say for instance $100...then if it doesn't go over $100 I bid about 2 minutes before it's over....even if what I'm bidding on is way under $100....that way there is less of a chance of someone realizing I out bid them and if they bid above me by a dollar or so they wont have time to realize that I set my bid much higher then a dollar...and if you lose then it means that they were set over your max anyway so no harm done..
