I've always used the max proxy bid approach and have done quite well over the years. This approach works for me because I take the time to do my home work. I know for a fact that you can get an Atlas/Kato RS-11, RS-1 or C-425 for $41.00 or less. If I see these items, and I need one, I'll drop the $41 bid and walk away. <br /> <br />I would say I have won 70% of the time. On the occasion I loose, I just go back and bid on different engine. The times where I pay less than $41 is the times there are more than one of these engines. The last C-425 I won I paid $35.99. It was the opening bid amount and no one else placed a bid. The fact that there were 5 others listed probably help though. <br /> <br />Do your home work, know your items, you'll get what you want for the price you want. I love the people that use the "Buy it Now" feature and pay more for an item than it would cost at a mail order company
