I go through my points and ended up using auctionsniper.com, worked like a charm!
The item(s) were some Jimmy Choo shoes for my wife's bday...ridiculous I know!
If you don't mind telling me, why were you interested in what it was?
Thanks to everyone for their help!

It can't be repeated enough...do not bid during the duration of the auction...it only raises the price.

I wait until the last 10-20 seconds and place my bid.

Sorry all, but this is not a SPAM topic, so I am going to close this thread. One thing to remember if you are using ebay, upromise gives back 1%.
