[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jfugate With over 100 million bidders on ebay, you can expect a few of them to be irrational. It's the irrational bidders that blow the proxy bidding model out of the water on ebay. That's why its best NOT to bid on an item until the last possible moment. Otherwise you run the risk of irrational bidders seeing your interest, and then repeatedly incremental bidding on the item, driving the price up to unreasonable levels. If you snipe bid (as last minute bidding is affectionately called by seasoned ebayers) then you run the best chance of getting the item at a more reasonable price, in the price range you were willing to pay. http://auctionsniper.com enables you to snipe bid automatically so you don't have to physically babysit the item to place your last minute bid. [/quote] Your soooooo right about bidding. What I do it "Watch the item" first. It goes into my folder and I watch to see if anyone had bidded on it. If it goes more than 2 bidder, I turn my back on it. Do anyone every ask the seller a question. Some sellers don't know what they have and describe it wrong, but people like me know what they have and they sell it dirt cheap. I saw a couple of Athearns for 0.99 with no bidder's. Why? because the seller said it was a rubber band dirve or so they thought. Look at the pics closely as I don't buy anything without pics unless the seller is certain of what the have and lettting go dirt cheap
