.... there's a 1001 bastard watchers all ready to strike and spoil my weekend.
I fully understand how Ebay works (I'm something of a sniper myself). I fully understand that there's nothing I can do about it, certainl not posting on here.
There's something I want on Ebay. A seller's got two (similar) on EBay and there are plenty of others too. The starting bid is a steal but it's been there for six days and nobody but me's bid on it. The other one's racing away. Seller has good feedback (including related items), the listing's fine and the answers to questions make sense.
It's not bike stuff but it's a [b][i]bit[/i][/b] like a decent looking seller having an Orange 5 and a SC Heckler for sale - one's now at the kind of money you'd expect it to go for, the other's still at £15.
It makes no sense.
[b][u]IF[/u][/b] I get it for the starting bid I'll be the happiest chap in happyland but I [b]know[/b] someone's going to come along and spoil it for me. Grrrrr...
Yes, I know I should just bid what I'm prepared to pay and see whether I get it - that's what I've done - but it's a tantalising glimpse back through time to the good old days of Ebay when you could pick up [u]real[/u] bargains.
erm.... normal auction rules.... What is it worth to you MAX? Bid that and see if you get it! If not no worries.
What is it? I am intrigued?

You're joking, aren't you?

Foxtrot.
Oscar.
(in the nicest possible way, of course)
if you've already bid on it then you've scuppered yourself - people will just keep bidding until they beat your one.
If you want to win bid in the last few seconds at your max bid.
I've only bid the starting bid and that was a couple of days ago. It's not prompted anyone else.
My max bid is with the sniper.

That's the one.
is it 'anal intruder 4' like off the film top secret? 😉
My mate reckons ebay is the devils work for this exact same reason. How long you got to wait?
'til tomorrow.
OP - I think you are dreaming/need to get out more.
auctionsniper is crap - just use jbidwatcher.
OP - I think you need to get out more.
Can't argue with that - going for a run this evening.
It's started.
If you snipe with your max then you don't lose.
You either get what you wanted, for a price you were prepared to pay or it's sold for more than you were prepared to pay. If you were outbid the you'll never know how much they were actually prepared to pay so you can't whine.
Now go get me a beer.
Glum.
Someone wanted it more than me.
so, what was it then?

No.
Oh, sorry.
Hope it didn't ruin your weekend or yo should have bid more. Even if you didn't win, the chap who did would be more broke.
Where was my beer?

Why do you think auctionsniper is crap? I have used it for several years with no problems
Welcome to the internet
>auctionsniper is crap - just use jbidwatcher
jbidwater is a download so you have to keep it (and therefore your PC) running up to the end of the auction yes ?
Whereas auctionsniper is a web based app so no need to have your PC on when the auction runs/ends.
