Snipe! Auction sniper is our friend. Set it and forget it, now worrying if I am not at home and helps me stay in budget. Not that we have been spending lately.
I'm a sniper. I'll put a minimum bid on something I'm interested in just to get it into the 'my bids' page so I can keep a better eye on it, and then snipe it with a few seconds to go. That way if I change my mind, chances are I'll get outbid since I only put the very minimum. Or if I do want it, I won't get into a bidding war since I'd be easily outbid initially and they won't have any bid to 'fight' against until the last few seconds.
I always bid early on an auction with no bids, then prepare to snipe at the end. My theory is that sellers are less likely to end an auction with bids, than they are with no bids. Plus even if I only put in the minimum bid amount, if I forget the end of the auction I am still in with a chance of winning. The number of times I've totally forgotten to bid and the item has gone unsold.I also snipe, but I do it myself without using a program to do it for me. A bit of if you can't beat them, join them.
