Don't know about setting increments, but if you bid £1000 on an item with first bid set at, say, £10, your bid will be entered as £10 and won't go up until it has to, ie someone bids £50 so your bid automatically jumps to £55 or £60.
Does that answer the question? I suspect not!

I guess you can bid in any increments you want, but if you keep increasing by £1, the bid won't be £1 bigger until you outbid the other fella!

200 quid will buy you a new one, so, needing a £40 part + work, I wouldnt go more than £100 if I wanted it.

Crips, someone understood me!! That's a first!
I was also looking around for a welder until I fixed mine. There are some excellent offers on new ones that beat Ebay prices (with free delivery).
Google the model you are interested in but when you find them for sale, check the other ones they sell. If you are anything like me you will quickly get upgradeitis so decide how powerful you want first!
Cheers
