cmsellers wrote: I started doing it because I noticed that people will up their bid if you outbid them. Now, this is essentially an irrational behavior. The correct strategy is to bid your absolute maximum, because you're willing to pay it. You won't ever actually pay it unless your maximum bid happens to be so close to the runner-up's that the difference is within the eBay bid increment, meaning most of the time you either lose or get a deal.
I suspect there are two things going on here: firstly that most people still hedge even where it's counterproductive, and secondly, once you are winning an item, the endowment effect kicks in: you feel like you already have it and will pay more to keep it. But either way, in light of this irrational behavior on the part of other bidders, bidding your maximum bid last-minute is the best way to win a contested auction.

Sure, I'll have a max bid in mind, but I'm hoping that everyone else's max is somewhere below it. I guess eBay has hard time limits that snipers can take advantage of, unlike the IRL auctions I've been to.

Presumably you have, but everything else you listed is to do with the drive and you need to change the boot order on the computer itself, so maybe you haven't. The drive will also have to be bootable, but again, that's probably another step that's right at the top of any instructions you will have found.
