If it's a valuable item then do your research first. Read the listing very carefully and work out exactly what it does and doesn't say and what you are assuming. Has he/she previously bought the same or similar item? Make contact by asking a question. Does the reply give you complete confidence?

There are programs around that can monitor the auction and do these kind of bids for you...
Bid sniping is what it has been called..
Do a google search for ebay bid sniping and have a look..
Save you haveing to be there when the auction ends that way
