Bought lots of stuff this way, especially when I am bargain hunting for stuff below market.
Me too! it is the only way to do it. I haven't used it in sometime but i had Auction Sentry, an automatic sniping program use to send in 30 seconds before ending. Just put in what you are willing to pay days in advance and walk away. Will put in your bid if you haven't already been outbid. Easy Peasy.
