I don't know how much you have bid on eBay but most bids take place in the last minute. The last car I bought was the factory black 73 vert. I had done my research and had personally talked with the owner on the phone and ask lots of questions and got pictures that other bidders did not see. Forget the reserve set your limit and stick with it. The morning the auction ended I sat in front of the computer clicked the bid button and put in what I was willing to go for a maximum and watched the count down and at 7 seconds I hit enter. I got the car for $1,500 less than my max bid. You have to be sure of your computer speed and the internet connection you have. Be honest with yourself and figure out what the max you can go is and do the same. If you get it great if not hope for another. As a feel for who is bidding you can click on the number for bids and it brings up the bidders if it has not been set up as private. You can click on the individual bidders and eBay will give you the last 30 days history for the bidder. I could see by what they had bought that most were just there playing when the early bidding started. The last thing they bought was some clothes or music and nothing in the car market. I think it makes them feel good to just bid. You can also see if they got stuck on bids and had to retract their bid which happens if they bid too late.
