I bid at the last minute, but some prick outbidded me with 10 seconds left and my connection wasn't fast enough to reload and bid again.
Tactics:
Usually I have three window browsers open. Two loaded onto the page to bid and the other on My Ebay page. Put a minimum, or low bid on the first browser. Then, your very maximum bid on the next browser and keep refreshing your 'my ebay' window to see if anyone snipes you at the last moment so you can bid with the maximum bid. You do all this in under the last minute of the bid. And hope to god your connection or something doesn't screw up.
