If you want cheap, you have to be a bit active. You are a gamer, treat it like a game and go for the big win. Study the patterns. There is an implication in what you say that the bids go up to the Buy Now price. This is not so. Take a good look at what the winners of machines that you like are actually paying. Bid late and bid as much as you can afford (this does not mean you pay that if you win). If you are always worried about what is going to rock or not rock in a year's time with the next edition of whatever then, well, you are at the center of a very big universe... :)
