Strategy for eBay: Don't bid at all until the last couple of minutes. It just drives the prices up. First way to spot a newbie ;) You'll notice a lot of auctions have zero bidders until the last minute. You can use the "watch item" (or something along those lines) feature to keep track of the ones you're interested in.
