I bid and watch a number of items — usually about 20 to30 at any given time. When a bidding war starts to happen, I usually drop the item like a hot potato. I had a friend that got caught up in a frenzy of bidding in the last hour,,,,, by the time he won the item, he actually paid more for his XBox then it was selling for in the stores, after you added the shipping. I say, please be carefull in bidding,,, sometimes a seller’s brother, sister, or cousin may have an Ebay ID and just might be in there pushing up the ante — pushing up the bidding. Hope this helps— from one of the four of Stephen King’s High School buddies.. Frabruday
