keevhren Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 lets drive the price up as high as possible but still lose the auction... yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickey Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 nope. early bidders keep the price down in the long run. it's the last minute bidders that drive up the price. early bidders forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgoodcore Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 nope. early bidders keep the price down in the long run. it's the last minute bidders that drive up the price. early bidders forget. here, fucking here. i just won two auctions where i was the first bidder. mostly because i was the only bidder. but i've also won where i was first, put in a high enough max bid, and went on to win. just put in your max price on your first bid and walk away.

311thrice Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I hate those people. It makes me give up hope on winning it because I know it's going to go high. At least if there's no bids I can think I'm the only one watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 well, i mean for certain auctions you KNOW theyre gonna go high. but more bids attracts attention to the auction, which from a seller's perspective is good, but from a buyer's perspective is bad (which is why poorly listed auctions mostly go for cheap). but i think some people just don't put in their highest bids. they put in bids lower than they're willing to spend, and once they're outbid, they bid higher than that. unnecessarily driving up the price early in the game, because they're gonna have to outbid that person who outbid them. i don't mind if people bid a lot on the last day, but shit like 16 bids on the first day and a half is ridiculous to me. but... whatever. all's fair in love and record collecting. patrick, why'd you delete your post? haha.

dante3000 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I don't mind early bidders it's the idiots who bid and know it's not a winning price that piss me off. All you do is drive up the price when you bid $3 on a test pressing. If you bid early and put your max, more power to you. If you bid early and put in a useless amount all you're doing is making it harder for everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 you said something like... "it's fuckers like these that make auction sniper necessary" hence my post, "people who don't like early bidders?" clarifying who these "fuckers" are.

benchwarmer Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I sometimes bid early, because I forget to do so later and usually miss things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minty Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I always bid early, but I bid my maximum. What's the point in waiting 'till the last minute if i'm still going to be bidding the same amount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I will bid early, and put in my max. That way, people have to try to out do mine. Instead of the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
