I agree.....BUT a fair warning to new users........put in the most you want to spend (your max bid) and leave it alone. Without experience and knowledge of what can (and does) happen, your emotions will get involved more than they need to and you will end up winning something for more than it is worth. Think what you feel like spending (shipping included) and put that as your max amount. E-bay will bid for you until your "allowable" limit is up and then you are out of it. If you do this 5 or 10 times and keep losing you will realize that maybe what you want is not exactly at the price you are willing to spend. Once you get a bit more knowledgeable with the way things work, you can search and find deals that have a lot less traffic than others (mis-spelled words, listed in wrong categories, etc.)..........that is where the sweet pickups come from.
That is the best advice I can give and I have been doing it off/on for well over 8 years or more.
