A lot of good advice there. You can widen your horizons by going to ebay.com as well as ebay.uk. Remember higher shipping costs from N.A. but much wider market. I have addresses in NA and UK. Sniping is a good technique and fun if you're at the 'puter near the end of an auction. I use a stopwatch. Last one I won, my bid was in 5 seconds before the end.
