For me, it's like Mark said. It has to be near the max of what I would pay. In this type of scenario, I don't keep increasing a small bid once someone passes me. And, yes, it's like getting something that falls through the cracks. I don't use any kind of automated sniping service and I can been too busy to watch items like this when they are closing. So I don't necessarily wait until the last minute to bid. But I don't really see it as running up the cost. It is what I am willing to pay.
