Assistant: Are you bidding against other human bidders?  If so, watch out for bids that seem too high.  If you spot a bid that seems too high, don’t buy it.  Also, be sure to read the fine print before you place a bid.  Sometimes auctions have special fees or charges that you might not expect, so be sure you know exactly what you’re signing up for.
