I set my max bid at what I wanted to spend based on research and experience with the exact jacket. My bid was around 30% higher than the highest bid going into the last seconds. I simply got out bid. I thought about putting in a crazy high bid hoping that it wouldn't go too high. The only problem with that strategy is the same problem as when there is more than one person sniping. If someone else bids crazy high, I end up paying crazy higher than I want to pay. Slippery slope.
I love the game though.
Preemptively gauging a competitor’s potential craziness is part of the fun. I too have had my hunch betray me and forcing me to end up stuck with an item I overpaid for. A lesson that has yet to stick.
