There's a couple of items I'm interested in on the eBay Canon Refurbished site. One I'm being automatically out bid on every time. When I look at the info on the bidder its clear they are a power seller and have blanketed Canon's site with 135 separate automatic bids. Without being forced to bid high and not getting good value is there a game plan that could favour me?!

He will just have a maximum price on the items.

Just stick your max bid in and leave it at that.

Had this a few times with stuff. found that if you put the same max bid in a few times even if you are outbid, they will come back with a second chance offer as they can see you want the item but will only pay your max bid for it.

That's just the way it is with ebay, things ain't the same as they used to be!

http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/ is pretty good for camera price comparisons if you want to avoid Tat Bazaar
