Auction Tactics

Some people might say there is not much of bidding methods,as of the immediate bidding and the sniping at the last seconds, but there are more known...
Method Nr.1 is sniping, mostly through well known e-sniping websites as www.esnipe.com and other sites, just put the term of seconds and the amount to bid... Usually it shots accurate and timely.
Method Nr.2 - manual snipe in the very last minute, yes some adrenalinrush seekers love it, but may often risk to miss the proper time (use the time reminder!!!), you may be at work or sleeping, and the internet connection can suddenly disconnect, whatever ....
Method Nr.3 - if You know exactly the how much you want to bid, You may bid asap the max cypher and let the others to judge it.
It is good for non-reckless people, and one still can change the mind and add more to the bid, but it is surely lost against the good snipers...
Method Nr.4 - at first to tick the interest with the low bid and to make the snipe later on. Some do. But what is good for the seller then, that the early bid may attract more of the bidders.
Method Nr.5 frightening and playing nuts... What is it? Well, imagine a person bidding on item and immideately outbidding the everyone who bids against no matter the how high the bids is... It works for expensive items and makes others think that they deal against the ill guy... so they stop bidding, while the "ill" one finishes the action with the accurate snipe-shot. And grabs the item!
Method Nr.6 What some people do... They bid abnormally high and then retract the bid, so they find on how high the present
highbidder is pushing, then they can decide whether they would shot against or not... It is not allowed but in practice it do happens.
