My classic eBay bidding technique is to look long and hard at an item,
think it over, and then bid my maximum price - once, by proxy. If I
win, fine, if not, then it wasn't meant to be.

And I thought I was the only one using this "mature" method :-)
OK, I confess, I've come back and upped my bid a couple of times, but usually I
put my maximum in by proxy the first time. If I come back later and up my bid,
it's cuz I've done some research and decided that my tentative initial bid was
too low.

I do get a kick out of eBay buyers who use robot bidding programs and such, to
win that last-minute bidding frenzy. Heck, that's the fun, at a live auciton
anyway. I wonder if those 'bot users also use programs to watch and evaluate
girls passing by, sample and rate fine Scotch, etc.? --Mike K.
