How can I eliminate other bidders as I get close to my maximum bid?

Increase Your Bid Amount

If you want to scare off your competition as the bidding gets close to your maximum bid, start increasing your bids by $15, $20, $25 or more. In most cases, only the most serious bidders, those who want the piece as much as you do, will stay in the game and continue bidding. If you're lucky, your competition will drop out.
