RE: Missed it by that much!
Check out auctionsniper.com. You sign up with them and it links you with your ebay account. You can then put in a bid and it will bid for you at the last moment before the auction time ends. You can set what kind of delay you want also (put bid in 3 sec. before end, 5 sec. before end, etc.) I have won a few things using it.
