I learned a while back that the best way to ensure you get an item you want is to bid at the very last few seconds before an item closes. The problem is with time zones and "forgetfulness". I was recently reading about EBay bidding services and found one that is recommended by PC Magazine and others. Vist Auction Sniper.
The "drawback" is that it costs about 1% of your auction price which means 10 cents on a $10 item. The good thing about it is that you can just set up the Auction Sniper by setting your maximum bid and letting it do the bidding for you in the last few seconds of the auction. It also helps discipline you to not pay more than you were planning on at the very end of the auction.
