ebay virgin: how late should I leave it to bid?

[Mud]

I have just been outbid on what I thought was my max price but happy to increase it

a RL friend told me I shouldn't bid till the last 5 mins - is that right

I have the page open - when should I place my last bid to give me the best chance of winning?

less than a minute left

oo the tension

did you win???

did you win it??????

I won it at £31 plus postage (so cheaper than maximum bid)

oooo that was so exciting, what else can I buy

it was a pack of 60 brand new children's t-shirts and sweatshirts by the way (from 3 years old up to age 12)

I am going to paint them and sell them at the summer fair to make money for the school

YEY!!!!

Too late now, but the ebayers' mantra is "bid once, bid late, bid your max". If you keep putting in bids to try and be top you will end up paying way over the odds, quite likely. Glad you won
