What I wind up doing is to get a bid, any bid, in early. It doesn't have to
be my final bid price (though it can be if I think the item won't attract
too much attention). That serves to make the item show up on the My eBay
page. (If you don't know about this, check it out, from the site map page.)
Then, as much as I hate the practice, I snipe: I wait till the very last
moment and put a bid in for my maximum. Timing is critical here to make sure
you get the last bid in..having ISDN at home certainly helps. :-) How late
is too late? How steady are your nerves, and how fast is your connection?
