Next time dont get involved in a bidding war, it just pushes the price up. Wait until the last couple of minutes and bid the highest you are prepared to pay. If possible put your bid in about 10 seconds before the close.
Was that the one I pointed out to you?

You can get software that will put your maximum bid in at the very last second. PM me if you want more information.

Keep looking on Ebay for a month or so.
In about a month I'll stop using ebay for anything bar buy-it-now's for boating stuff as the numpties will start bidding everything up to silly money as soon as we get a decent weekend.

Guess when my collection of outboards is going on ebay?
