paulrehm Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Sometimes. But if you don't bid more than you really want to spend it doesn't make a significant difference. Only when shilling is involved does it suck. It almost never makes a difference on low-end stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneatingcow Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 If I'll be around when an auction ends then sure I'll wait til the last few minutes. However, it seems like auctions almost always end while I'm at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 If two people put in the amount they are willing to buy it for why does it matter when they put in the bid? Example one: I did $20 the first day of the auction and someone else bids $25 the second day of the auction. No One else bids. The second person gets it for 20.50 Example two : I bid $20 with 2 seconds left. Someone else bids $25 with one second left. The second person wins the item for $20.50 Also if I am planning on selling a record soon I'll bid up copies that are currently being sold.

I like your trick with bidding up other records though; I'm going to experiment with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac3ebemo Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I occasionally bid stuff up early if I know it's an item that will go for a lot regardless. Usually to about 80% of my max bid. Cuts down watchers and thus give you less competition to be in a bidding war/sniped in the end. Have gotten some good deals this way, just as many as any other method in my experience.

billyissweet1 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 This had to be a joke. http://www.ebay.com/itm/fun-Aim-and-Ignite-LP-Rainbow-Splatter-Vinyl-RARE-UNPLAYED-COLOR-VINYL-/190770175111?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item2c6ac9dc87 I saw that too! I was watching it just to see and all of a sudden it increased by $900, then SOMEONE ELSE upped it another $10! They had to be in cahoots with the seller. No way do I believe this. I'm the seller on this one. The guy never paid. It went from $76 to $985 in a split second. I was pretty happy with the $76, but the guy had to do that for some reason.

mclz Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 What the fuck! I sold this record a few years ago for like $30. I don't know anything about those guys, but i liked the color of the record and it was on P&P so I bought it and hated it. I had no idea these guys are even that big or the record was that rare.

Then they'll get what they wanted and you'll make some scratch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ac3ebemo Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 ^Yes I did. I got lucky that I was browsing and saw them ending and misspelled before I had a chance to look up what anything was worth. Low feedback seller though so I'll see if it pans out.

konk Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I don't understand why eBay shows that there are 2 bids from the first and only bidder. That just lets people increase the amount by 50 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
