Ebay Sniper Hit Me

[Musclecarkid]

It really hurts when your snipered by a fellow sYc member.Thanks a lot "govelle". Enjoy the 6 issues of CARS mags. Great stuff in a few of them.

At least he was a good shot.... (It was painless??)

It has happened to me too. (Others-not Rick) It is part of the game. If you are on dial up it is just harder to play to win.

It wasn't Personal,but this post seems to be.
I also bid on another of that sellers auctions,& I'm on WEBTV Dial up,just like you.
You're throwing stones at me?
You Sniped Here

And Here

And Here too

You're past bid auctions have expired,but I'll bet there are more back there.
And as Far as being a fellow sYc member,you seem to frequent here quite a lot,so where are your Donation Stars?

I bought a pair of Cragers just like those at the flea market about two months ago for $20 for the pair. Perfect chrome.

I snipe and have been sniped....I always remember to bid the highest amount I am willing to spend.ALWAYS.If you don't win,it's your own cheap a$$ to blame.The upside is you also don't get into a bidding war.You know what they say....If being cool were cheap....

Steve's bang on. Sniping hast nothing to do with losing. What you are willing to pay does. If something is going for 95 bucks and you think you can get it for 101, you'll lose. If you put a bid in for 140 however, you'll have a better chance of winning and el cheapo guy will have to try and re-bid in time. Basically, bid the top dollar you're willing to pay for the item and if you don't get it, you won't feel bad about it. You only feel bad because you were probably willing to pay more than what the winning bid was for the item.

[/ QUOTE ] Listen up Dickie70...... My comment was not an attack on you personaly. We all know the ebay game and play it daily. I was just making conversation about the content of the Magazines and hoped you enjoyed them. You'll see why I mentioned that, when you get your mags. As for my sniper tactics on the past 3 auctions you researched for us, call it lucky bidding. Snipering with WebTv is like using a BB Gun in a Dog Fight. WebTv is real sloooooow lately and takes over 5 minutes sometimes just to sign in and complete an Ebay bid. As for your comment about being a sYc member, I don't think it's your job to police who is a "Paid Member" on this site. From what I understand, site donations are appreciated, but not manditory to share information here on sYc. If you think your donation and "Member Stars" make YOU a better man than others here, you should ask the sYc for a refund. Remember this site is all about sharing information and you have shown me long ago (Remember the 12A 70 L78 Buildsheet) that you don't like to share your Sacred Paper Files with others. Grow up and learn to share with others.

Slam a big bid at the beginning, the max that you are willing to pay, if someone else outbids you, so be it - just tell yourself that he overpaid

There is some level of satisfaction after you've won an item that you bid on during the first day of the auction, and then see all the sniper bids falling short
