u shud stay at the computer and at the LAST second u bid 1 dollar more:)

Its pointless to bid one dollar more. If someone outbids you with a day left on the bid you leave it till the last minute and hit it up 50 - 100 bucks over them. If you bid a dollar more than them theres a good chance that they bid more than what the winning bid acctualy is.

Ex You bid 400 dollars on this laptop

Bidder2 Places a bid for 500 dollars - The current winning bidder is Bidder2 at 410 dollars (depending on bid incrementals, in this case 10$)

You wait till the last second and bid 420 dollars, he still wins it at 430.

It asks for the max bid you want to place on it, it doesnt automaticly jack it up to 500. It looks for the bid below yours and adds the bidding incremental ontop. I just won a 800 dollar tranny on Ebay for 411.66 The bidder below me was at 350. I placed a bid for 500 though.

Yeah that doesn't work... because like peace said, If someone has set a max bid for higher then what you bid, then it automatically raises their bid to one dollar higher then yours. Its quite frustrating, esspecially when you can't understand the logic of spending 200 dollars on a machine without a CD drive.
