Trainee Sniper

I'm presently sitting watching an item on Ebay that I'd like to win in an auction. Apparently the trick is to only bid once, and as late as possible. Fortunately the auction finishes in my teabreak, so I can get really close to the wire with this one.

This may be an omen, but I'm not convinced. I've never ever won an auction by fair means so far. I've always chickened out and used "buy now".
