Yeah, basically the only time I ever buy on Ebay is if I can get it right away for a good price with the buy it now. Or if the auction is almost over and it's still at a decent price. But, you should never bid at the start of an auction. Put it on your watch list and then snipe. As cheap of a tactic as it is, if you want it, that's what you usually have to do. lol!

Or I'll hit up Ebay and buy something if I can't find it absolutely anywhere else. Then I don't mind if I get taken for a bit of a ride on the price because what other choice do I have if I can't find it?!
