This video is actually very poorly put together. There are way more efficient ways to win a bid than what this guy is doing, not to mention he seems ignorant to how pricing works as far as the stat weighings on this item.
~He put the 2% chance to fear on hit as an affix. How effective is this really even in PvP? That item probably isn't worth much more than 30m.
~He refreshes the bid from going back and forth in the pages. This takes probably 5x as long as using the little bid menu that blizzard puts under the sell tab. If you scroll your mouse, it refreshes the time.
~Using a stopwatch 5-10 minutes ahead of time to make sure you're within a 5 second threshold is key. If you can get it perfectly on your stopwatch from when the bid will end, you can easily snipe someone worry-free in the last 3 seconds of the auction.
~The key to getting the item is putting the maximum amount you're willing to spend. You will earn the difference back from the next highest bidder if it isn't yourself. Example:
Current highest bid is 1.4m.
Joe schmoe bids 4m.
You bid 10m.
You will get the item AND 6m from the difference between what you were willing to pay and the next highest bidder was willing to pay.
SAVE YOURSELF 3 MINS AND DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO. USELESS.
On a side note, most of your other content is okay.
Why the hell don't they suspend the timer when the servers/AH is offline?
I must've lost millions because the AH was down the last 6 hours of my item being up. I netted 8.1mil on a sweet Archon Crown.....but I can't help but to think what I may have gotten. If there's 5 hours left on your item and the AH goes down, there should be 5 hours left on your item when the AH comes back online. This is a fuck-all ridiculous oversight.
A word to the wise; Never post a high-end item on Sunday night.

If you watched the video, he said his cellphone was sorted, so it can be assumed he was using his cellphone as a stopwatch.
