Belt Auction

I need help winning ab eBay auction! Please give me some advice!?

Okay so I just found a WONDERFUL item, the item of my dreams for a ridiculous price (it's not a fake handbag, don't worry :) It's this piece of junk. It's 90 years old but it belongs to a very prestigious manufacturer) and it's price is ridiculous. It's beyond cheap. I stumbled upon this item a few hours ago, but the auction doesn't close until 9 more days. WHAT DO I DO? I didn't bid yet, my plan is to bid on it the last minute. The seller asks for a near $100 shipping but they specified if we live in their city, we can go pick it up. My friend happens to live there so once I win the auction I plan to ask her to go get it for me. SO ANYWAY, my question is what do I do? I NEED TO WIN THIS. I recently bid on this watch-strap and the moment I bid and it confirmed my bid it said: "Your bid has been submitted. You've just been outbid. Do you want to bid again? # Another bidder placed a higher maximum bid or placed the same maximum bid before you did. Learn more about bidding - opens in a new window or tab. # Increase your maximum bid to have a chance to win this item." How can this be? PS This was on another item, but it outbid me before I could even make a bid. Is this some program? I don't want this to happen when I bid on my item the last second. Suggestions?
