When you are bidding on a item, whether it's popular or rare, it is a good idea to not jump right in and make high or Buy-it-now bids so that you can save money. Very often there are many auctions spread out over the week ending at different times of the same item. Auctions listed very late at night or during work hours midweek are often the safest bet for bargains on electronics of high-demand items. Since these times are of low ebay traffic the auctions will end almost unnoticed ,saving the highest bidder some 15% to 40% off auctions listed during prime or peak Ebay hours. Also, be sure to input or bid the next highest wager in order maintain a low winning bid at the last second. Even if you are in a bid race at the end, the other bidders cannot make your final price too high. Thank you for reading and good luck bidding
