How I did it? Just noticed that every time someone was bidding it was someone different (no "buck" sitting on it). Got a couple of bids in the nick of time, but won it finally. What a surprise when it actually happened!
Have a look: WOW!!!
Nowadays I realize that I can bid on any item; if I can't get it sent to me I can use the gift certificate value and get some other product from TripleClicks, or I can get TCredits instead. The only thing is you have to find an auction that is not hot. You need to have some time to observe the action and decide on the right one. This new one I won manually, without using AutoBid.
