WELCOME all who gather here. YOU ARE GOING TO WIN A WIDGET SOON. In praise of Tiptie and the disciples Cru and Pcr99, I SAY SNIPE ON ! In the first written words the immortal Tiptie posted.... "Sniping is the art of placing a bid, with a high proxy,during the last few seconds of an auction." Remember He posted "Sniping is an art" That so it is read, it is an art that can be learned. ANYONE can do it IF they learn and read and follow the written words. In praise of Tiptie snipe...

We have our much beloved Sniping Revival Thread. We have also encountered the earlier proxy that beats the snipe. I have decided that we need to honor and acknowledge these early proxy winners. We have, just like in the Revival thread, the naysayers. Obviously we all know that a snipe bid is a proxy bid, but I want to give an award when an earlier proxy beats a snipe. They happen all the time. As with the Sniping Revival, I will create Award seals for these winners that have...

Because the chat thread didn't have enough posts for a daily, or even weekly format, we have gone to an undated thread. Come and join in on the happenings of a new year with the {{Biddies}}.

I lost an auction today because I waited to post a very large maximum bid until the last minute, which I always do. Was it my fault I didn't confirm it until the last minute? No, it wasn't, because when I hit the 'confirm bid' key instead of confirming, the sign-up screen came up instead and I had to 're' sign-up, even though I had been signed up and watching this auction all day. I had even e-mailed the owner of the item earlier in the day to ask for more details. SO, instead of confirming...

I was watching this item. As near as I can tell someone is increasing the bid in order to drive up the price. Are they bidding for the seller? Price was $32 at 1:00 p.m. and then starting at 3 P,M, same bidder bid repeatedly 5 times in an hour.They had no reason to increase the bid as it was just their own bid. Anybody care to comment on what is going on? Here is the bidding scenario. US $63.00 Feb-06-10 15:52:19 PST l***6( 1 ) US $62.00 Feb-06-10 17:23:22 PST l***6( 1...

Hi {{{Biddies}}} I just had to show off my latest eBay purchase: Link There is a lot of junk in this lot. But the lens in the first picture is a scarce Angenieux f/2.5 135mm that sells for $400 - $600 or more. And even better the lens on the Exakta camera (middle left photo) is the much rarer Angenieux f/1.5 50mm. One of these recently sold on eBay for over $2.2K. Not exactly a snipe, but... The seller originally listed it with a low start price and no BIN. I put it on my watch list...

Why do idiots keep overbidding on items? Either do your homework or stay off ebay!

I did bid and my bad didn't investigate further, and as my niece said if it sounds too goo to be true it probably is. He has sent a non payment for the item, I did say to him I was afraid to pay. He has 6 neg in last month and like 16 in last 6 months. Over all a ton, how long will ebay let him get away with this, the neg says he is selling re worked not new, hard drives, and some say he just doesn't answer, which he did not answer for me. Oh well how do I address this now he has filed a...

I always thought that the main reason for buying on eBay....was to get a great deal! Why else go through the trouble of finding what your looking for, then trying to determine is the seller legitimate, and will the item be as described when you get it, and not to mention the five to seven days you have to wait for the auction to end. So why is it...there are people who will outbid you, and thereby raising the price of the item to retail? Now...if the item is something rare and cannot be...

Hooo-eee, that was a great game, but it would have been even better as a an overtime-in-by-a-field-goal ending. Peyton Manning is a great quarterback and it's a shame the game seemed to come down to an interception. However, it's great boost for a city that needs and deserves a boost, so.. Laissez bon temps roulez! "Well, I'm back."

I had contacted a seller through ebay and they agreed to charge actual combined shipping if I bid on their auctions (I won 3, 2 had no other bidders and I got them for .99c, the auctions were for colored pencils). The seller did NOT change the invoice and combine shipping as agreed, I contacted the seller and they did not respond, except to add even more to the shipping the day after the auctions ended. It has been three days and I haven't paid yet. I don't know what to do. They raised the...
