DizRotus Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 With eBay it’s nothing until the end, which is more than three days away. There is NO reason to “bid” on eBay until the last few seconds. Not truly an auction, eBay is more like a silent auction. Serious “bidders” use a bid sniping service to place their maximum bid in the final five seconds. The winning bid is often a multiple of the high bid with 5 seconds remaining. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 At times, fewer and fewer these days, I put in a bid for what I am willing to spend, then dont look at the add again. If I get it fine, if not, it was worth more to someone else than it was to me. They send an "outbid" notice and I just say darn! I used to check in for the last few minutes and get sucked into upping my bid. That shipped sailed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shipped sailed. That’s another benefit of sniped bids. I put in what it’s worth to me, the sniping service, with 5 seconds remaining, uses just enough of my max bid to outbid the high bid. As you say, if someone values it more than I do, I get an “outbid notice.” All that can happen at 3:00AM, while I’m fast asleep. Using sniped bids, I avoid the temptation to increase my max bid during the last minute bidding frenzy, and I get my much needed beauty sleep. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Current bid is $590, imagine getting them at that price? On Ebay once, I did land a great deal on a nice acoustic guitar that was mistakingly placed in the bass guitar section. I paid $100 shipped for an $800 guitar.

Davecv41 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I got introduced to sniping by a coworker who said that he wouldn't be bidding if he didn't intend to win the auction. That reasoning made sense to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Realizing that purchase price is an individual idea based on funds, wants and needs but what would this typically sell for? I mean I could make a road trip from Texas and put them in storage until I decided to really P.O. the neighbors and think I would if a bid of one G could win but that's just me sitting and no thinking. My current goal is to sell current / buy house that would support those big 402 Jubs in the next 3-4 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I gave up on Ebay bidding even with bid snipping. One time and one time only have I won a bid that I benefited from. Most of the time it was buy it now. That one time I won was with my 79 Cornwalls that I still own today. Luckily they were local, the description read Klipsch speakers with blown twitters. I offered him $650.00 to cancel auction, he declined and I ended up winning them for around $575.00. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
