ok so my dream record has come up after 15 years of waiting to find it :D
so i bid then unsurprisingly i get outbid. then what? do i wait until the last minute or do i make my point felt by immediately outbidding the 'opposition' and therefore stamping my authority on the situation?
decisions, decisions...
ps - last time i tried to outbid someone on the last minute i ran out of time, and this record is rather important to me (and rather rare)
your advice please!

oh god I've been there.
I was waiting to outbid the other bidder at the last minute. I kept refreshing like a madman, sweat on my brow..
I did win it though. :)

dont go often but if i see something i REALLY want i tend to think of the max sum id be willing (able) to pay and just bid the once......everytime someones puts a bid they re out bid straight away ...they keep going for a while and then stop.....watch out for the lethal "last minute bidders" though...they can break hearts ; )

Okay, since you waited that long... use a sniper. That way you won't lose, or at least the chances are less. here

xOhx - is it safe to give all your details to these sniper people..? Do you get bombarded with junk email once you give them your email address or anything?
Have you used them a lot of times? Thanks

Yes, no, and yes, respectively. Plus, the link I gave was for a free service, up to 5 snipes a week. They're safe so far.
