Default ebay gripe being outbid?

Don't you hate it when you bid on something such as furniture and are prepared to pay a reasonable amount, then some furniture dealer comes along and outbids you because they have more money and can absorb the extra costs into their business. Then they end up selling it in their shops for double and I miss out a bargain grrr. Does anyone else go through this? I am always being sniped in the last 5 seconds and it's driving me wild.

Obviously you're bidding below the market value of popular items. Maybe if you find items that aren't so popular.
