I disagree about sniping, I've found it works very well myself. On another note, I simply don't "get" E-bay bidders, quite often: I just don't understand how/why people are paying more on E-bay than stuff can be got through regular retail. I literally was just looking 5 minutes ago at a BLI PRR T-1 4-4-4-4 on Ebay that's at $316 with a day to go yet... Shipping to my zip is $15.00... I'm sure it will go for even more. I just looked at the "completed listings" and saw several that went in the $325 + $11 shipping range. I don't get that! You can buy it brand new in a sealed box from several retailers for $295-$299... The retailer I typically use would charge me $7.95 in shipping. Maybe $30-35 isn't much for some people, but why pay that much more even if you're a millionaire? If it was one obscure retailer at that price, I'd perhaps understand. But I can think of half-a-dozen places, all not exactly obscure and big advertisers, that sell it around $300. And you can pay with various methods, AND you get a real return policy, AND you get a phone number you can call if there's a problem... I'm sorry if I'm ranting but I just don't get it! BNS, my best advice to you is IF you're looking at something that's current production and available at retail, DO NOT assume E-bay is cheaper! Check the usual roster of mail-order and online retailers before you buy on E-bay.
