I have very specific MAXIMUM prices I'll spend so just setting it insanely high to get it no matter the cost doesn't work...

say there's something that I'm willing to spend ONLY $50 shipped on.. I'll maybe miss 70% of the auctions for that item but I'm happy with that 30% that I get at bargain basement prices.

I spend HOURS tonight added over 100 auctions and setting my spending limit at very specific prices.

I've spent $700 tonight rounding up things I need and will likely spend another $700 over the next few days then I'll have to wait for what I ordered to come in, do some stuff to them and whip them back around and sold then as cash flows in order a ton more. I'm hoping to basically double my inventory every 2 weeks. What I'm doing is a ton of work but I can see it paying the bills and helping me get into some other things I wanna get into.
