Outlasting Everyone Method

This method is not up to you, rather, it's up to other people.  It only works for very expensive items, and items that have been up for a long time.  Basically, the people above you bank their money or don't have the amount of money out, so they don't win the auction, even though they may have technically won.  For whatever reason, you won the auction for cheap.  Their forgetfulness is your financial gain.

Here's an example below, of a dark battle duck.  It's in my email.  I didn't take a screenshot, because I thought I had lost the bid.  At the time, the duck was worth 980k (because that's what I sold it for).

Notice that super_secret_spy_ had actually won the auction.  However, he must've gotten a dark battle duck cheaper elsewhere, or simply banked his money, maybe because he was trying to inflate the price for a friend or something. For whatever reason, him, and all the other people above me didn't have the money out, cause they banked it or just spent it on something else to where they had less than the 900k or so out.  It then passed down to me, who was in 7th place. If I didn't have the 912k out, it would've passed to doh73000x who may or may not have had 892k out, then it would've passed to xxdiehardxx. Since I had saw some of these guys win other dark battle ducks, I thought that they might not want this one.  Either that, or since this auction was for 48 hours, they simply forgot to leave out 900k.  Most people don't like leaving that much money out cause the tax beast (random event) might take 10% of whatever cash isn't banked.

I mean this isn't a method you have much control over.  You can try to bid low on things with high increments (like 10-20k increments), which are very expensive, and have a long time to go.  That is the best combination to win it this way, but most times someone higher than you will have the money available.
