But don't you usually get outbidded if you're onto a bargain like that?

it's all about strategy

So what strategy would you use?

there's many, the most important is to set a limit for the highest bid that would be still worth your while and don't go above it

Yes.

another tip is to look for the money spelled wrongly - less people looking to buy cheap money will see such items and you'll have less competition

so search for "monkey"

or "monet" - an easy enough typo, the t is next to the y on the keyboard.

haha, but then you'd be bidding against idiots who thought it was an expensive painting

i thought of that - but they'd see the picture and think "that's not a real monet" and not bid

Not necessarily, some of these people might be very stupid.

well what you do is if you see anyone bidding $80million for 'monet' money you realise what's happening and don't bid on that one.

good call

thanks.
