Bargains on ebay?

3rd amp in a row i've lost, either i'm being unrealistic or there's some people willing to pay unrealistic prices, oh and i fcuking hate bidsnipe shit,

Bollocks to this i'm off to Tesco's in the morning to get my new system, they seem to be getting good reviews lately, i will still have change from £30 for some WKD to get smashed whilst listening to my favorite Kylie cd

:lolsign::lolsign:

But sorry to hear of your bidding woes, give it time...

:)

Tell me about it John. I did get lucky the other day tho, i put an high bid on something the recently that didnt move for 10 days till last 10 seconds before bam silly bid wiped me out.. :steam:

The lucky bit was an hour later i got a second chance off the seller, as the winner backed out, my high bid then turns into a Buy It Now for my personal use for a period.

:cool:

Sounds a bit like a dodgy trick to get the max money out of your bid to me. Might be wrong.

Dont you just love it.. nearly 1000 feedbacks 100% perfect & someone goes & gives me a Neutral because of a problem with the CD in which case i wast prepared to send out, their would have been absolutly no point... i refunded immediatly with explination, what else am i suppose to do?.. It's a total joke, now i have to switch my feedback to 'private', why the hell do i bother being so efficient & Meticulous with people!..disheartening, but not the end of the world as ive decided never to sell through auction anymore.

I have placed bids with some unrealistic prices, and still ended up getting outbid :eek:. The most memorable one s when I bid U$2000 for a Micro Seike MAX237 tonearm with just 10 seconds to go and with the highest bid price standing at U$1300 at the time. I ended up getting outbid at the last second by the seller Foxtran on eBay. He put the arm back on sale for U$2500 about a month later, but offered it to me at U$2300. I was of course looking to buy it and put it back on sale myself :lol:.

I believe I have my first ever true ebay bargain.

Pair of EAR 509's 100Watt mono's. They are old, need a little spruce and a very carefull check over, but I picked em up for £888. The current price- add a zero.

lol

Pics and restoration thread to follow.

I agree, I'm always wary when this happens, especially if there is a big gap between my bid and one BELOW it. Smacks of a shill bid to get the price up.

I'm certainly not gonna chop my nose off & turn it down, I bid the amount i got the item for, i'm happy.
