I think we should all list our EBAY names here so we will know who beat us out for all the widgets we bid on!

[ QUOTE ]
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

ATTABOY MARLIN! That's how to do it.

I've had it happen to me by people I know and done it to them. It's no big deal. I just move on to the next item.

I believe that is the concept of auctions.

That is exactly the nature of auctions. It's all fair game. It's even tougher for us Mako Shark fans, because most of us hang out together and want the same things... can't worry about such stuff too much. There are more important things in life.

Well said david! I've lost items also, but all is fair. Increase your odds and get DSL. Faster is better, cars and internet! Roger

i snipe everything
no reason to drive the price up before hand
my ebay philosophy: i lived without the part before i saw it so im sure ill go living if i miss my bid.

yes I love buying and selling e-bay too and yes I have over paid for certain items and yes I have sniped ( guilty )and been sniped but boy is it fun to get items you want on your screen & keyboard and days later mr brown apears at your door with the package and another bill.

I'm new to sniping... love it... can't live without it now.

Thanks for the Amherst Robot pointer... that's the one I'm using & it seems to work fine.
