I was recently introduced to Gixen by one of Paul’s blogs on buying tools on eBay. I’ve used it very successfully on three occasions so far. Was a little bit nervous about handing over my eBay credentials, but there doesn’t seem to have been an issue.
I’ve also used the principle that people’s maximum bid is likely to be a round number e.g. £20, so I’ve made my Gixen max bid £21. On each occasion I’ve won with e.g. £20.50 i.e. a tad over the round number. Maybe it’s a complete coincidence, but it seems to have worked.
I’m with Dewi though on the ‘being objective’ front. You also really need to take postage into account, as it’s all too easy to overlook this (as I’ve done to my cost).
Happy hunting.
