I (and I'm sure most ebay-savvy people out there) never bid on an item
until at least 5 minutes before the end. Knowing this, you have to
keep in mind that a low price on something ending in two days is no
indicator of what the final price will be.
The best indicator of final price on ebay is the price of similar
auctions that already ended. The best way to get bargains there
nowadays is to catch something with a low "buy it now" price as soon
as it's listed.
