RE: Bidding etiquette. - spitey - 07-05-07
this is not bitching homie. its an easy answer, to be able to bid on what i want....

RE: Bidding etiquette. - Sooper - 07-05-07
Im not getting involved mate and not taking sides, your both good blokes and have been mates a long time i think so i am sure you will both get over it and move on soon enough. Back to the good ol days thats what i say, lifes too short.

Yeah, he's never given a shit.
Riding roughshod over nuff auctions I was going for.
Tis only ever me that moved aside for him.
Cnut !

I don't bid on kicks if I recognise the bidders username as being a forum member but have been outbid a number of times by other members when we all bid at the last minute and that's fair game in my opinion.
Placing an early bid to show your interest is a good idea but it also gives people who aren't sure a guarantee that they're genuine or sort after/rare kicks. I think on general items that should end up being a bargain an early bid would be good idea so you don't end up paying top dollar for something that will have ten other listings over the following weeks. Fuck knows really! it's a touchy subject but if you see a name you know is a member just weigh up how bad you want them and think about how much you might be putting out a fellow member by bidding on them. Courtesy pays and you never know when your time will come around.

I'm with Stylz right here - I don't think we can put in or enforce any kind or rules, but just a bit of thought, and common sense would be nice
RE: Bidding etiquette. - AdiMac - 07-05-07
Yeah touchy subject this one.
Guess it depends how big a wanker you are!! If I see a name I recognise then I'll back off but if you really want some thing them you'll do whatever to get it.
I'd like to think that we're all mates of a fashion and I don't shit on my mates .
Have the Missy's arrived yet Pure? I wasn't bidding but watched you go in at the last minute.
RE: Bidding etiquette. - mr.pure - 07-05-07
No mate, they haven't.
Tis quite funny when most of us go in last second.
Bound to be a few accidents.
RE: Bidding etiquette. - AdiMac - 07-05-07
Last minute is last minute, I think it's different if you go over the top of an existing high bidder.
Does that make sense?
RE: Bidding etiquette. - mr.pure - 07-05-07
Sure bloody.
If anybody bids in the last 30 seconds I'll just pretend I didn't see it.

Frequently wouldn't to be honest cos I'd normally be on the confirm page by then.
RE: Bidding etiquette. - deftoned - 08-05-07
Our local site trademe uses auto extend so the seller gets the best price possible - if someone bids within the last 5 minutes it extends the auction for 5 minutes - I've been in an auction that extend nearly an hour because of bidding wars. I haven't used ebay heaps, but it obviously doesn't do that??
RE: Bidding etiquette. - Teaj - 08-05-07
Sounds like a good idea.....so obviously eBay wouldnt do that
