    Bid as much as you like. The computer will not allow you to bid against your self so the your bid does not increase unless someone else bids. Good luck.

    I WOULD RATHER BE DUCK HUNTING.

    One other thing that I've noticed is that if you are very serious about getting it you better be on your computer for the last 15 minutes.

    Shadow - If it is currently at $53.50 and you are willing to pay no more than $375.00, bid $375.00 and get some sleep. You will either get it at $375.00 or less (that's what you wanted to do, right?) or someone else will buy it for more than $375.00 (and that's okay too because you decided at the outset that you were unwilling to pay any more than $375.00 for it, right?) It's no more complicated than that.

    Shadow, because of GB's '15 minute rule' I'd say do what timbroman says, place your bid and get some sleep! You'll either get it for the $375.00, or maybe way less, or someone else will bid higher.
