Not all items are worth getting like the mini cid, but most are. You can get the items cheaper if you dont bid til the people sitting in the room are almost done(when they bid then the auctioneer says going once, twice.......) then as soon as the guy says once bid and you should get the item for a lot cheaper. If you start biding from the beggining of the auction the other buyers will take the price much higher than you could get it for.
