The 30% Rule

Never bid more than 30% above the current price until the final minutes. This prevents price inflation and preserves your budget.

Emotional Detachment

Treat bidding as a business transaction. If the price exceeds your predetermined limit, walk away without hesitation.

The Safety Margin

Always keep a 10-15% safety margin in your budget for unexpected bidding wars or additional costs.
