    You might want to link to the items page itself or just tell us what it is. It's kind of a pain to have to go to ebay and lookup the item by its number.

    My personal montra is to bid the absolute maximum I would pay for something. It uses auto bidding to if my max is more than enough it'll keep it low. If it's outbid then I can just continue on.

    I'm sorry, I'm just joking about. To be honest I'm never sure about the price of G1 stuff. Just bid as much as you feel it's worth and that you can afford.

    Well, just pretty much depends on how bad you want it. No one's going to be able to give you a exact amount because everyone's opinion is going to vary. You'll have to go on your own want/spending ability.

    But it looks like you need to be at at least $110.55 before the auction's over.

    Another word of advice is to not bid until the closing minutes of the auction. Sniping is an art form, and it can save you money in the long run by staving off a bidding war. Just make sure you bid your absolute max price, and not just one or two dollar's more, otherwise you may lose out.

    Note to OP.

    If you list a question like this about an auction you are going to point everyone's attention to the auction and guarantee that it gets alot more people bidding on it than you will like .

    So...if you want to win. Congrats...you get to spend alot more $$$ on the auction.

    Hey OP thanks for linking that page,oh and I think I will go ahead and bid on that,just kidding I wouldn't actually treat a fellow boarder like that.As for how much you should bid I would say no more than $200 as shipping is nearly $30 and even tho they look like good figures that comes out to almost $8.00 a figure with shipping,but I think they are only worth that myself.So if you want them I say go for it,hope that helps.
