ADvice on Bidding

  What are some tips in order to choose the most appropriate biding offer?
Should we offer our highest? Or start at above ?Or below the offering price?
For example a 1400 sq foot home for 114,000? On the market for a week and already has a couple offers.
 
  If I were you I'd make my first offer pretty close to the most I'd be wlling to pay.  Sounds as if the place is priced at a bargain.  You should probably offer more than the listing price if you really want the place.
