I was looking at a pair of kef speakers on eBay to make up my surround system.

Found some and they went for £160. £10 over my max bid.

Happy really because I took a look on Gumtree and found the same ones in better condition on Gumtree for £60. The guy even had the matching centre speaker for £30. So I went home with 3 speakers for less than the two in eBay.

Worth having a look a Gumtree sometimes.

Got some good eBay sniping software in my android phone called mybidder auction pro. It logs into your eBay account and snipes your bid 5 or 3 seconds before the end of an auction.
