It certainly has been a bit pants. I nailed a power supply however and am camping a couple of dumbass sellers at the moment. Might be fruitful.

Best time from experience is August to November. Think people are shifting crap to make some Christmas money.

If it's any consolation, when you come in second, you always lose by up to one bid increment. eBay won't auto bid higher than that. You don't know how much the winner's bid amount was, only that it was more than yours.

For example, if the bid increment is $1 and your maximum bid is $10, whether the winner bids $11 or $123456, the closing value will be $11, just enough to outbid yours.

In auctions the price isn't determined by the highest bidder: it is determined by the second highest bidder.

Corollary: given 0,1,many buyers, the worst case for a seller is 1 buyer.

Berni:
Yeah i know but on this item where there was around 10 people bidding on it. So just one guy out all of them had deeper pockets then me. Usually on such popular bidding items the price just ends up going past what i want to pay.

I can't argue with that logic except I'd add in early December as well.
