With Ebay, put in your maximum bid and try to be there a few minutes before it
ends to make sure you get it.  If you don't, 6 out of 10 times you will lose it
to the last 5 people that bid on it before you did.  But remember, you can
always pay retail and get what you need to complete your project (even if its
more expensive).  I had to do that on wire, after the same thing happened to me
on Ebay 3 times in a row... got the wire in a smaller quantity (the amount I
needed), but paid a bit more for it.
