[quote="tio200"]YES ! A LAST MINUTE ...THAT CLOSE TO AUCTION END ...IS RISKY, BUT IF YOU ENTERED IT MANUALLY ON EBAY, SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT HAVE A BID ALREADY ENTERED INTO THEIR SYSTEM, SO FOR INSTANCE IF THE LISTED HIGHEST BID WAS $6.98, and i manually enter $8.. sometimes ebay automatically tells you that you have been outbid enter a higher bid, by the time i type in my higher bid and refresh the page, the auction is over, so if i see a last minute item of interest i go directly to gixen and have them place it for me., sometimes i enter less than a full minute and still win ![/quote]
