It has been quite a while since I have gone on to Ebay, but the best way to win anything on there is this. If you find something you truly want to win, then decide first how much you would be willing to pay for the item in question up front. Once you make that decision, then keep an eye on the auction right up to the last minute. If the auction is still within your bidding range, then begin typing in your bidding info, and when it reaches the last few seconds of the bidding war hit enter with your highest considered bid. The final outcome will show itself instantly.
A couple of years back I saw a young man place his UE collection into a LOT type of auction, and I used this theory placing a bid of $800 on it in the last few seconds of the auction. The highest bid up to that moment was $324. So any bids at the last minutes were going to be $10 here and $10 there, but my bid was to high for them to win. I ended up with about $1500 worth of UE gear for like $714. Well worth the total I was willing to bid up front, but if you show your hand too quickly you will lose your bid. You have to wait until the final seconds of the auction to win though. Good luck with that.
