Been watching two amplifiers on eGhay for days. I wanted to Bi-Amp my fronts using these two amplifiers.
Watched them all day today, time tick down tick down tick down.

2 Seconds left and someone else bids on one of them, I try the 1 click bid but it was too late.

What I want to know is how the hell does someone bid that fast to sneak in and steal the sale?

Was he just sitting there waiting? Or is there a service or program or something that people can use?

I guess if I wanted them that badly I should have set my max bit higher than the minimum value...

Still pisses me off.

There are sniping services for Ebay.

you know that all you really need to do is bid your low amount to be the highest bidder, then bid again with a MAX bid. that way it will keep you at highest bidder untill they bid more than your high.

example.

item: amp sits at 15 bucks.

you bid 16 bucks and take highest bid.

you bid again to have a max bid of 40 bucks

your bid will stay as 16 dollars with a max of 40..

now someone bids 19 dollars in the last minute.

they will be outbid by a 20 dollar bid by you automatically..

they bid 21 dollars, they will be outbid by 22 dollars by you automatically and so forth untill they bid more than 40 dollars. they will never see how much your max bid is untill they pass it. it is the same principle as sniping but ebay itself has it in their system.. sniping will just do it at the last second, though either way if you have a higher max bid than the person who is sniping's max bid you will still win.

now, lets say your max bid was 40 but you won the auction for 15 bucks. all you pay is the 15 bucks.. that's it.

you guys just need to learn how to use ebay. :/

100.99... Same price he bid, but he got it... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif I guess i needed to go higher.

Anyway, he is trying to get a V800 (the amp he wanted) so since there are 2 listed on ebay right now he might get it, then sell me the amp I wanted... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

yup. that is the easiest because if you place your max bid earlier. you will most likely be out bid.

you know that all you really need to do is bid your low amount to be the highest bidder, then bid again with a MAX bid. that way it will keep you at highest bidder untill they bid more than your high.example.

every time i have placed a bid with a few hours or more left with my max bid. I get out bid. you need to wait until the last second because dumb people will pay a bunch for some stuff.

i do that. i don't place a bid 6 days prior to the end. i would wait the last 15-30 minutes and start setting my max bids and such.

I bid on NOTHING ahead of time.. I wait til theres

 

[deaf tones 10+ year member]

maybe you should stop being one of those worthless ebay douchebags that don't bid to win, rather, bid low enough to jack up the price for someone else who is actually going to win. and you're on here *****ing about it after the fact.

bid once, bid to win.

and don't forget to /yourself.

So, the starting bid was $99... and that's all you bid?

If that was all it was worth to you, then cool. If not, you could have bid your max price you'd pay... and it would ONLY increment to that price IF someone outbid you.

I always place my max bid I would pay... in the last few seconds. If it goes past... and someone proxy outbids me... so be it.
