Timing is everything on ePay. I suspect many of us have 'over paid' because we previously missed out on a different auction. Then you see the same item again a short while later, and a bidding war pursues. Amazing how much stuff actually gets by us on the cheap though. Seems (and I can't be the only one) I always miss out on the 'great' deals. Do a search on ePay for items that have already ended, you'd be surprised what you didn't win. lol But somehow, I'm usually aware of the stuff that fetches more dollars than I care to spend that given day, week or whatever.
