What is the best way to bid on an auction that is about to end

With the "BID NOW" button.

Kidding aside, everyone is after a bargain, and wants to pay as little for an item as they can. Sometime you can by putting continuous bids in as close to ending as possible only to be beat by unscupulous people who use bidding programs that put bids in 1-2 seconds before ending and beat you.

In my experience the method i use is simple. Work out how much you are willing to pay for an item and place that bid. If someone beats you, they are obviously willing to pay more than you, so move on to the next item.

Do notget disheartened by being beaten by only one bid amount either, You may for instance put a maximum bid of $100 on an item and lose it to a bid of $101.00. But the person that beat you may have put a maximum bid of $125.00 and the system only bids an amount sufficient to beat your maximum bid and win item.

 Hope this helps.
