I usually end mine in some odd cents i.e. $20.23. I have shopped victoriously this way many, many times. It is a little annoying to other bidders if they are legitimate but I'm okay with that. Otherwise I look for the same item for sale with a buy-it-now option so I don't have to wait for the end of an auction. Good luck!

I was bidding on some earrings and got outbided and a few days later they were relisted. I see it quite often too Yep, me 3! There has been several times I've bid on very unique items and lost to another bidder with a low feedback score only to find the SAME unique item relisted a couple days later. These are things I KNOW the seller doesn't have 2 of therefor the "winning bidder" on the first auction was obviously created by the seller. There's no way to get around this but even so, eBay is a great way to find GREAT deals on some stuff and even through all the headaches I still LOVE eBay!!
