ebay selling

hi folks

i have 4 things on ebay and they have 5-8 people watching them but no bids. Do people generally bid at the last second and therefore not raise the price too much?

is it possible for me to start different account or get a mate to bid on them to raise the price a little and get the ball rolling?

they only have 2 days left.

if anyone is interested, im selling a psp with lots of extras and a big solid snake poster

I do that. Waiting till there is less than one minute left means you pay a lot less for it.
Great example - three days ago I was watching a CD on eBay. At the 2 minute mark the CD was on $67. The auction ended at $194.

You can do either option. Get a mate to bid on them in the last 10 or so minutes, or now if you're keen. If he happens to actually win the item, just mark the item as Sent, and he can mark it as Paid, meaning neither of you actually have to hand over anything.

whoops wrong section

thanks. think i'll make some fake bids

Yeah i wait for the last minute...
Unless i cant make it and i really want it, then i will put a autobid on (Trademe that is) surely its the same as ebay...
