ebay bidding strategy

[XXXNoahXXX]

I had these collectable rings that I sold on ebay. I had two of the same ring and one sold for $150 and the other sold for $10 (avg. for other rings was around $20).

I looked at the bidding history, and the $150 one was just two guys who kept outbidding each other. it was a unique item and i started bidding at a penny, so it was basically up to them to determine the price and these two got into a bidding war.



just be logged in and wait until 60 seconds left and then bid. this way if you get outbid, you can rebid higher.

This is especially true if you know the bid is only slightly higher than what you entered. Ebay increases bid amount incrementally.

So if your max is $20, and I bid $15, your bid would still bet the winner at $15.50. If I then bid $17, you would be winning with $17.50.

THis way, if I bid $19.99 and it only increases your bid to $20, and not $19.49, then I know $20 is the exact max bid you entered.
