buler said:Ok, $400 for the block the other day was pretty outrageous. $810 for this one is completely insane! Plus another bidder went to $800.

Yeps said:This is why I don't bother with putting in false bids. I just bid what I will pay, no more. If someone else wants to pay more for it, oh well, and if I get it for less, guess what? I don't have to pay as much as I planned. I am rather convinced that sniping is really all psychological.

on those babies and now we're all going to bid on them.
Hey, I'm just providing a public service.
And I'd be glad to go back to no posting of live auctions...
Or live auction posts should use the <blink> tag and be in pink only.
BanjoMerlin said:I'm certain that sniping is psychlogical. A lot of bidders don't put their best bid in at first. For whatever reason, they will sit and watch their lower-than-best bid lead the auction right up until the last few seconds and then be upset when they lose to a bid that is actually lower than the amount they would have paid.
If I really want something, I wait until the last few seconds and place my best bid once. If I do it right that other bidder doesn't get a chance to outbid me. If somebody else out-snipes me, oh well.
For most things, I throw my best bid at it when I see it and that is that.
SteveAS said:This one? I was watching it, but it ended up selling for what I thought was a very high price, given its smallish size and (near stingy) 2" brim.
Adcurium said:But I think the thing that makes Ebay fun is watching the auction and participating as it draws to a close. Actually, my last-minute bids were a result of me watching the auction and thinking "Yeah, I'll go a little higher."
jamespowers said:All good reasons to use a sniping program to place a bid and forget it until you get a win or lose email. You save money and stress that way.
Yeps said:Why not just put the bid in ebay the regular way?
