First purchase from the devil site....

[projectsunfire]

I spent WAY too much money on there last year so I have banned myself from bidding on anything. I was getting a shipment every week for a few months. Devil site indeed

But in all cerealness, yes, just pick a price you want to pay, use that for a "max bid," and if you get outbid, let it go. Most of the good deals I've seen on the devil site come back within a week or two, so you usually get another crack at it.

Turn off the outbid emails and only check site once every couple of days

Key to success: Ignore the "You have been outbid." emails.

Amen sir, amen...

I highly recommend using this site which reports historical results from CBid auctions, including marking great price, poor price, etc. I don't think it is always complete -- I bought a box recently that didn't show up. BUT it is better than going with no information at all.

It's generally a day or 2 behind and it doesn't show free fall auctions but it's otherwise very accurate and a good gauge of how much you just overpaid
