You are sure right about bidding at the last moment done that a few times to land some sweet deals

Arnold by the way mickie mackie moo, you are just a stone's throw away mate

For my ebay auctions I just use a snipe. That way I dont have to worry about being at my machine when the auction ends. Also means your not caught up in any bidding wars. PLace your bid and dont even look at the auction until its over.

[mickie mackie moo]

your right there mate not far at all, we might of even passed each other in the street

my computer's clock is set to Ebay time.
Last second motherfucker !

Same here mr. p

As for auction snipers - i agree they can be very handy but i get such a buzz entering a bid in the closing seconds - the anticipation is awesome!

& of course there's the fact that you've snatched them away from someones grasp at the last second, all for an extra quid!

Hmmm, maybe I need to change my Ebay strategy, I'm (as usual) as subtle as a brick and tend to just say "I want it" and whack in what I'd be willing to pay.

I've been thinking it opens me up to shill bidding though, a practice which really pisses me off.

As Pure pointed out, it's a cert that happened on my Undftds, ain't the first time neither, I've started tellin the seller to go fuck themselves when a second chance offer comes out, unless the other "bidder" is someone whose + feedback is not made up of $1 purchases....

Man I love it here, I might even end up becoming a bit more thrifty if I hand around long enough!

Oh and these Footpatrols, I put a max bid of £200, won't be upping since there seems to be a lot of interest from people on here it but figure it'll go higher anyway so I don't need to retract.

If they were my size the gloves would be off!

Pure - if you were hoping to get em for less than that you dreamin right?

[mickie mackie moo]

but like i said why bother bidding now,, its a waste of time if you bid now you'll never win with the same bid, you've got to do it near the end and sometimes it keeps the prices down

What do ya want? A pound of flesh?

[mickie mackie moo]

Try the local supermarket then, I reckon Olstar might have found something up your alley:

Ive heard about that auction sniper not used it yet think i might give it a try soon

You never know mickie mackie moo we might have passed each other in the street, anytime i go anywhere i aswell look to see if people are wearing superstar's sad really i know but got to see if people are wearing the SS

[mr.pure]

I wasn't hoping to get them any cheaper, it's just that when people start bidding, eejits start sniffing around cos they figure they're real even though they have no idea.
I'd rather it came down to the last minute and those who had paid attention or wanted them the most got them.
So that'd be me then.

Speaking of Footpatrols, can anyone hook me up with a size UK 11 / US 11.5?

[mr.pure]

Nutters.

[mickie mackie moo]

[mickie mackie moo]
