Bid on it within the last 2-5 seconds, with a reasonable maximum bid input, so that it will automatically outbid anyone who tries the same. Also, make your max bid slightly above the minimum amount. For example, if bidding starts at $10, and you must bid in a minimum of $5 increments, bid $15, with your secret max bid at $20.01 or higher (Instead of an even $20). This way, when someone tries to outbid your $15 bid by bidding $20, they will have to bid twice, to $25.01, to outbid you. But be aware that many experienced Buyers know this, so they might bid a random amount between .01-.50 higher than minimum.
