DD411 - Strategy #2 - Time Hoarding

Have you realized yet that there is a clock at the bottom of your screen, counting the number of seconds that you have been the highest bidder?As you climb the Levels, you start to claim 40 + bids that you can use to start stockpiling bids. If you are picking smaller items to flip, you could rack up some highest bidder time, and it may be worth it to get yourself to the next level and claim those bids. You can use a faux-intimidation strategy and immediately bid after someone to keep yourself as the highest bidder. That way you are maximizing each bid you use. Use this to your advantage.

BUT, also watch people are using the TIME-HOARDING strategy too. If you find that you are playing the Slow and Steady Game or using Bid Buddy, and GAMERx, immediately bids after your bid buddy kicks in, he is getting the 20-30 second countdown added to his highest bidder clock. Your Bid Buddy kicks in at 4 seconds. You've now spent a bid - to maximize this bid, you want to try to at least get 20 - 30 seconds added to your highest bidder clock. If you only get 1 second, you aren't maximizing each bid. In this situation, really consider how invested you are and how important the item is to you. You don't necessarily need to abandon. Just be aware. Turn off the bid-buddy and see if you can get some other players to jump in to the auction and save your Bids.
