Is it best for me to type my bid with 15 seconds to the end of the auction and risk something going wrong with my computer etc etc. Or keying in my massive high bid with a week to go and just pay what I have to pay.. I collect old british coins and I have been looking for this coin for over a year now. I WILL be the highest bidder but I need to know when is it best to key in my stupidly high bid. A) With a week to go and just pay what I have to pay OR B) Wait till the last second and risk something going wrong (my computer freezing or going offline etc etc) Thank you for your answers...Cheers.

Just be careful, some e-bayers have lots of accounts in different names,they bid against themselves to up the price.I would wait to near the end.

To avoid over paying, you should bid the highest amount you are willing to spend. Then forget about the auction until it is over. That being said, I always like to watch the end of the auction and usually bid myself higher than originally anticipated. I need to follow my own advice... :-)

Usually it matter not one bit, someone else will have an eye on it, and will have a price in mind already.
I would probably say bid with a couple of hours to go, that way you can have a back up plan just in case, i.e. run to nearest library/cyber cafe/friends house to bid.

Leave it till the last day but not the last minuite, you dont want to push the price up to much by bidding early.
But make sure your bid is in with at least 3 hours to go.

In loads of circumstances Nike (or whoever) will settlement a production unit to make 'x' thousand pairs of boots. In production there's a 'run-in' time for a production line, correcting minor faults till high quality Contol says ok - there is likewise a run out time on the line to disguise any below common products for the period of the entire run (gadget defects whilst changing spools etc) Nike only pay for the quantity they ordered and have won, which leaves the producer a cart load of Nike running shoes. Are they fake or no longer ???

probably the seller will have his mate bid in it just to make sure of a good price anyway
