always wiat to bid till the last few minutes(If you have DSL or higher). this way the price doesn't get too high and you can get in your bid in pretty quick just before the end and I usually win

Thats called sniping. There are programs out there to do that and websites that do it. Thats how I normally do it. But I put in a bid with a couple minutes to go then set up 3 or 4 snipes, each a little bit more than the first.

I don't see the point in bidding any other way than by sniping.

well it sucks. the flash i want is roughly going for around $250 used. $320 new.

I have a bid of $177.00 with 4 days left. And there is one with 20 hours and $190.00. I'm trying to decide whether or not to bid on that one and try and snipe it. or just wait and hope the price stays low on the one i got and snipe it @ the end
