So what should I know about bidding on ebay?

Or if it's just a 'would be nice', bid the maximum you really want to pay for it, and ignore it for a week until someone demands money. eBay will spam you if you get outbid, but the mails don't always arrive that fast so the 'bid high bid late' people may well beat you if you're not watching like a hawk.

There are places you can pay to watch-like-a-hawk for you, but I've never yet wanted something that much.

And, indeed, the items that I've missed watching them myself nearly always go for more than I was prepared to pay for them anyway.
