with 20 bazillion people on ebay, bidding before the day of the auction in general seems dumb! Even if you bid let's say $50 for those clear tail lights a few days before the auction, what are the chances that your highest bid will stand for two days with thousands of other watching that same item?? SLIM...
Bidders are working against themselves and in favor of the seller and the Ebay(for their commission) for what reason? You aint winning anything until the day of the auction!

The only time I bid on an item before the auction close if it's a newly listed item with a good 'buy it now' price. Getting an email notice for this is often smart as you see it before most actually search for it.

I'm just completely dumbfounded why people bid on items with days to go. This
is essentialy eliminating the "good deal" area to a very small margin.

I should start my own ebay, one day auctions only, no reserve prices only and each bidder is allowed only one bid. Oh yeah and my website would actually have the outlandish idea of a 1-8000 customer service line.
