It's a game of chance, but often I have been surprised when I have won. If you see the clock going down below 5 seconds, and you have bid on the item, you're very close. Keep watch on how people bid, how many people are bidding at the time, and remember that there are some auctions when you can get double MRP (Monday is double MRP day and some other items are marked for that on other days). Be patient, as auctions take time; and have fun!

My best suggestions are:

Prepare yourself.
Play the Pick the Price,until you win a few.
Timing is everything and this takes patience.
Know the players.
Watch, only, when there is multiple bidders. 3 or more.
Study the auction Tips for Winning.
Bid only what you can afford to loose.
Do not bid out of frustration.

IF you feel the luck, it is probably there.

Make sure that your body is ready for a long session on the auction. If you have to use the little room, the auction will end while you are gone. Also don't drink much water or anything else before or during the auction.

Have your TCredits all ready bought. Don't use more than your limit.

And don't go to another page while you are waiting for the next bid.

I am not sure I can add more, this is a great question, but the person with the best strategy is not going to tell us. He/She is using that strategy.

But it is luck, timing, patience and discipline. Stay in your budget to loose. Do not et caught up in the emotion only to loose at a high cost.

Luck: several times I have watch an auction and saw an auto bidder in control, timer goes to 1 5 people bid to keep the auction from closing, then it happens again, same five people save

Use Pricebender's Auto-Bidder tool with care only you have to ensure for enough TC credits in your accounts and targeted Priceuse.so you won't have to stand by monitoring an auction...but it should be used carefully and with your budget in mind.

Patience and persistence. Both are required but does not guarantee that you will win.

I leave the page oprn and keep checking till the time it takes to reset getts low. then
I refresh and check how has Auto Responders on. then I check how the bidding is going, how often others bid. That when I decide to bid. Sometimes I put on Auto Responder abd right those credits off and leave or if the timming is right I stay and fight. I am sometimes supprised and win with the Auto Responder and am suprised when a pay email shows up for the item.I love the Auction but you have to budget

First know how much you want to spend and dont go over that amount. 2nd dont get in to a bidding war. 3rd wait to bid until the"going twice" shows up then bid. 4th keep an eye on the auction becouse you dont know when others will stop bidding.I have lost some due to thinking they will go on for awhile. Again I want to remind you dont get in the bidding war.
