A few eBay tips Mark.... Look for the items you want and save them in your favourites so you can keep an eye on the bidding. Work out the maximum you want to pay and put that bid in within the last minute, so long as your bid is above the current price. You might have got that deck the other day if you'd hung on a bit, if you bid early you're giving other bidders the chance to outbid you....be sneaky and wait, it's the best way to get a bargain.
Ebay... Best way to win auctions on ebay is to use POWERSNIPE This thing does kinda what Trancey is daying...you put in your MAXIMUM bid (u can change it if u want anytime...) and what it does is wait until the final few SECONDS and outbids the current high bidder (as long as its within ur MAX price). This way they dont get a chance to put in a higher bid to beat you I havent lost an auction yet with this little beauty Its free for 30 days and then something like $50 a year after that - worth every penny tho if ur gonna use ebay a lot... You should cos there so many bargains to be had!!!
buy stuff from the US. i bought a pioneer cdj500 for 70 squid off ebay.com as opposed to the 400 odd it'd cost on ebay.co.uk
