Well, I have been following (and bidding) on E-Bay lately. I have made a few purchases. I don't understand the mentality of HighIron2003ar, though, about "sniping". If you are willing to pay a certain price for something, why don't you just list your max offer and let the system work? In my experience so far, all the people "sniping" are paying far too much for items because they are addicted to the game, just like a gamblers addiction. I can't understand why anyone would bid $10 plus $5 shipping for an Athearn BB kit available anywhere else for $5 or less. I started looking for a new, Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP for my daughter for Christmas. $79.99 at ANY retailer in my area and on the net (I bought one at Circuit City online, $79.99 and free shipping), yet these idiots on E-bay are paying over $90 plus shipping. What that does, in reality, is show retailers what the market will bear and drive up prices across the board. They are screwing themselves, and screwing us. Paying too much isn't WINNING, it's just STUPID.
