Never. When I snipe, I really, truly put the highest amount I'm willing to pay for a lot. This is the dilemma with fixed-time ending auctions: because some bidders DON'T snipe with their honest-to-gosh highest bid, money is lost to the sellers...and the auctioneer. That's why eBay is still such a great place to buy!

Ditto. The only time I end up in that kicking myself mode is when the auction is live.

Every day!!! But, if I won everything I bid on, my happy home would probably belong to somebody other than me! I am having a blast cherry-picking, or low-balling if you will. Every win seems a little sweeter.

Not once since the recession started.

I think it is a tie between bidding not enough and bidding more then I should have on an item.

It all balances out, right?

I used to kick myself for not placing a high enough bid. Now I either bid the max I am willing to pay for something I want or set a snipe for that max amount and if I win, then great, and if I lose, I can care less . . . it just leaves me with more money for something else.

Default On what I bid on
I bid what I bid -- and I factor in just about everything into what I bid.

If I win; great -- if not; oh well.
