Title: eBay bids
Post by Mattrf on Jul 31^st, 2006, 3:40pm

I just bought something on eBay and was wondering how many of you have tried buying stuff on eBay only to be out bid at the last possible second and wondered, how the hell did that happen?

Well I thought I would share how that happens for those of you who do not know.
There is a program that you put in the item number then you put the max you want to pay, then tell it .5 seconds before the item closes place the bid. Since there is only .5 seconds left it bids you just above the current high bidder and you win. This way you do not get caught in a bid war and pay more then you want. OK so your saying where is this and how do I get it?
Believe it or not it’s free, yup free, ok only for the first 14 days and no I am not associated with them but this is so cool and I remember trying to figure out how people did it to me. I don’t know what they charge after the 14 days but if you are a big eBayer it would probably be worth it, there may also be other bid programs for eBay not sure.

OK no one accuse me of being a troll please I am just sharing info to those who might want it.

A Troll? I know you don't go around selling or soliciting or even marketing anything. But when I think of a troll I think of one of those goblin looking figures like the ones that were big in the late 80s n 90's. And after seeing a picture of you, well, a troll does come to mind!

Lately I've had to sell some military stuff. The collectors of that snipe all the time. I can't say that I've paid attention to bidding stuff though as I rarely do it.

Bein sniped can piss ya off on ebay....but it's all part of it......just don't do what I did one nite out of frustration for an item I wanted real bad and went to max my bid up to 20 bucks on and in a hurry before the sale was over I hit too many zero's.....I got the item for like 16 bucks but it went up high suddenly after sitting at a couple bucks most of the sale days of a week......everyone was waiting to jump on it I guess. But it sure the hell wasn't worth the 2,000 bucks I accidentally bid on it Pam

PS: Hope yer not tryin to sell us shit or push a product cuz if so yer gonna get yer ass sniped ta hell and back !!! [smiley=sgrin.gif] (jus jokein)
