I vary in my bidding methods, depending on the current bid, how many people are bidding, how much I want the item... People snipe so that they have the best chance of getting the item for as cheaply as possible. Usually I bid my maximum as late as possible; if I can, manually sniping in the last few seconds. This puts my bid in late enough so that others can't 'top' it or raise it and make me pay more. I may put in an absentee bid early on if I know I won't be online when the auction is closing. I don't always win my item, but often enough I do, and for less than I was willing to pay, that it works for me.
That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. ;) Best!
