A lot of times people don't bet there max and think they will be getting a great deal and sniping relies on that few that think this way. I always bid in the last 10 seconds and bid the max. People tend to be competitive even if it means paying more than the worth. I've seen people pay 25% more than the local price and then have to pay for shipping too. I saw a idler arm that sells for about $25 at Advance sell for $45 + $12 shipping and it was the exact part number. Competition sometimes drives the game, so I avoid getting into the game till there's no time for thinking.

BTW...I love Ebay! I've made a considerable amount of money on there without really trying!
