Slybacon Posted February 21, 2010 Ok all, Im still winning. Id love to share with you guys, lets see how we go. 3 days left Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
holymountain Posted February 21, 2010 i wouldn't do anymore bidding until the last minute... otherwise you'll only drive the price up.... it's a dirty trick but it works a treat on ebay. plus i'm also keen to chip in for cuts.... i'm heading to melbourne on the 8th of march for a gig... maybe just maybe able to pick it up then...

Slybacon Posted February 22, 2010 Ok so i am now not winning. I will bid in the last few minutes and secure it for us. Then we can work out how best to share it. No one else bid as it will just get confusing and as stated above drive up the price. Leave it with me so i can get it for a good price. There is senior members here who will vouch my trustworthiness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bread Filter Posted February 22, 2010 I will bid in the last few minutes and secure it for us. You can try using a sniper program. They are free and they work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoOnThen Posted February 22, 2010 quicksnipe.com This is the only way I bid on ebay One bid no pushing up the price pick your max bid set and forget Cheers Got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bread Filter Posted February 22, 2010 I use just snipe but I am sure they are the same. Hope it helps you guys get the cactus! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiral Posted February 22, 2010 if you are going to bid and win, the best time to bid is with 12 seconds to go...I have never been beaten on an item with time frame as by the time the bid lands it's too late for anyone to counteract it...those snipe programs might work to your limit but what if the item goes for a dollar more...? surely live bidding is much better as you can get the item no matter what, and if your limit is say $50 and the item is at $51 with 30 seconds to go, obviously another buck is not going to break you, then live bidding gets you your item every time.

GoOnThen Posted February 22, 2010 If you place your bid whith a snipe program at 5 to 10 seconds to go ( i like 7 seconds) and your bid is the max you are willing to pay the only way you will get beaten is by anouther snipe program or a bidder with a higher max if they manage to get it in in time If an item is at $50 at 12 seconds to go you may think you have it won until a sniper with a max of $55 bids whith 7 seconds to go and wins as there is no time left to place another bid This is my understanding of these programs I lost many auctions on ebay by being sniped in the dying seconds I now use quicksnipe and have i lot higher win rate at lower prices No I dont work for quicksnipe Cheers Got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
