If you really want an item, don't bid on it. Use eSnipe. They charge 1%
or $0.25, whichever is greater only on items actually won. Their
computer will enter a bid usually 6 seconds before the end (you can
change the time).

As for eBay, 3 motherboards, 4 video cards, some RAM, 5 trackballs, CF
cards, digital cameras. Its really good for out of print books, CDs,
old electronics.
