Yeah, but shill bidding takes place at real auctions too.. The thing
about it that eBay gets their panties wadded over is it's effectively
setting a reserve price and they're not getting their fee for that.
As was mentioned before, get a sniping program. I looked for free ones
for quite a while, finally found BidSage- it works well.
http://www.auctionsagesoftware.com/bidsage/about.htm
Manual sniping works well too, if you're home, up and not busy when the
auction ends..
I find it interesting that eBay has had a single, powerful, curious
effect on auctions, both real-world and online; the concept of "winning"
an auction, as if it were some lottery. You don't "win" or "lose" any
auction, you either buy the item by being high bidder or you don't want
it as bad as the high bidder. They (as far as I can tell) started that
idea and it was very good for business.

Re: anyone ever buy a wrangler on ebay?
I bought my XJ on Ebay - it was actually a local seller, so it wasn't
really the same as buying something unseen. No complaints - the seller
was decent, the price was fair.
