Aliens Drop ships and APCs

FYI:

There are quite a few Galoob Aliens Drop Ships and APCs up for auction

The big problem is WINNING these auctions at a reasonable price. Being on the
side of the globe means often auctions end when it's 3am here... and there is
always furious last minute bidding.

<sigh>

ebay will do automated proxy bidding for you so you don't have to be online.
Problem if two proxybots go head to head you will be up to your maximum and
still lose.

Yes I know ebay does this, but it still comes down to two people bidding
against each other in the last seconds of the auction - unless one sets
their max bid much higher, in which case you could end up paying a lot more
for something than you wanted to. Also, in the last minutes, some people
will just keep bidding until they are the highest bidder - and if you
aren't watching the end of the auction, tough.

That's the point. Set your bid to what you are willing to pay. If they go
higher than that they wanted it more than you did. The whole point to bidding
at the last minute is because many people bid less than their max and you can
get a deal. If people bid their max you don't get a deal any more you get it
at "fair market value".

I guess my idea of the value of the Aliens APC differs greatly from a lot of
others.... <sigh>
