I've often wondered that if entering rebuys without the intention of every rebuying would be a good strategy.
The idea of a rebuy is somewhat odd to me, so I have never played these tourneys.
I'm not so silly as to think there is necessarily something WONG with a rebuy tourney. There is just something gamble-y about it that doesn't appeal to me.
That said... I've always though taking one down for just the entry fee would feel pretty good.

Yes, It's called loading the table. Problem is on line you may get moved before you can take advantage of it.

In a rebuy I will set a predetermined amount I'm going to spend on rebuy's plus the add on. It will usually be 5X the buy-in.
My goal in a rebuy is to win the tournament, not just cash. I like to have at least 16,000 chips by the end of the rebuy period and will play a little looser. If there are three or more involved in an all in I'm not afraid to call with any two connectors or suited pockets in hopes of winning that pot. If I reach 5K or more I slow down and become more selective, but keep in mind that my 1st hour goal is 16K in chips. With ten minutes or less left in the rebuy period and I'm way short of that goal I will avoid any more rebuys or even the add on.
I seem to do ok in rebuy's following that pattern. It may or may not suit others.
The good thing about being short of my goal of 16 K is that many of those doing a lot of rebuys is that they have trouble changing gears and tightening up after the rebuy period. Keep an eye on them. You can pick up chips from them.

Rebuys give you the opportunity of going on with the game and reach the bubble. But they are also one of the best ways of losing your bankroll. You can find bad players playing them and "survive" with money power. But most of the time they are losers...

When I play a tourney with limited rebuys and addons I always assume that I will be buying all available, provided the payout makes sense relative to my total expenditure.
I play tighter in a tourney with unlimited rebuys and can usually take advantage of those loose chips.
Why would a player spend as much as he might hope to win? I do not think my personal psychosis runs deep enough to understand that.

Rebuy tournaments
I agree rebuy multi-table tournaments, many professionals like daniel negreneau are willing to buy in if they feel they have a decent chance of cashing in a tournament, I think at one Daniel set a record in a rebuy tourney and rebought 17 timesand he ending up winning the tournament. H e feels because of superior skills he can use his chips stack and build a stack and then play selective but aggressive in the later stages of tournament and in the early stages play a somewhat but loose philosphy which involves racing in coin flps like 88 vs ak or smalll pr vs over cards in order to buld a huge stakc and then use it to his advangtage in the later stages.

Within reason, maniac play and lots of rebuys makes sense, depending on the field and payout, but lots of peeps do it with garbage hands and dont mind blowing a ton o cash for no reason, seen it many times. Myself I like this action around me, but any rebuy I limit myself to 2 buyins (top up at first) and one rebuy.

I try to get through without any rebuy or add-on.
Good for the prize pool if many rebuy a lot.
