Have fun with them!

Just to add to the eBay debate.
My strategy is to bid the maximum amount I am willing to pay and then leave it well alone.
True I have not won an auction for some years now...

Hi all,
I generally use the Jimbo method, but have on occasion waited for the last-minute fling; and with my last two bids I've been lucky to find two interesting auctions in the last hour, bidding and winning.
All in all, since last October I've managed to win 8 auctions - smallish ones, generally, but providing a useful reinforcement. All Epic bar one, incidentally, and that was BFG.
Cheers.

I'm generally using the Jimbo method too, picking up the odd piece here and there, my biggest difficulty is finding that most have already been bid on by one of you guys , if I recognise the name I don't bid.
