For me, the only time I bid on any item is by
sniping. Why bid early? It's like showing your
opposites your hand in a game of poker.
I usually wait until the last 10 or so seconds left

bidding, is that, I only have one chance at becoming
the high bidder. But I bid my max that I'm willing to pay
for any item I want. Also, it's fun and keeps the blood
pumping.

| (...) I agree totally. It is fun and exciting. As a bidder I hate to see a lot get maxed out price-wise with 5 days left. Chill out, you don't need to be the high bidder the whole week.
