I've never quite understood this argument.
This is not a pop in anyway Jools, to your goodself or anyone else, but (as someone who has NEVER used ebay) I thought the idea was to enter your highest amount (you are willing to pay), and the ebay software does the rest, raisng your current bid if need be upto your maximum. If you are then outbid, you can increase your bid if you think its worth it.
If you had put in, say a maximum of whatever you where willing to pay (say £150) at the beginning, unless the 'dealer' was willing to pay more, then you would have won it.
It seems to me, waiting till the end and trying to get a bargain just doesn't work anymore. Your better off just putting in your maximum bid at the start ...and if you win it at a lower price, great...but if your outbid...then so be it.
As for me...I'm just a sucker who usually pays the full price
