I like to find items I'm interested in and putting it on my watch list and mark on my calendar day and time it ends and on that day go in about 2-3 minutes before and pull them up with bid amounts sitting in it and hitting send at the 5-10 second mark.
I will roughly about 99% of my bids I put in. Not to often I'll lose one.

I have concerns with giving my password out to someone over the internet. So I quess I'm stuck with putting my highest bid in and see what happens.

I use www.auctionsniper.com and just love. I get to decide well in advance what top amount I'm willing to pay and I don't have to worry about watching the auction or being available at the last moment to bid. You also don't get caught up in the bidding war and wind up paying more than you really wanted to or should have!
