i always thought that ebay should have a extend feature like some other auctions i get on. where if someone bids at the last minute, it puts an extra 5 min. on the clock. I think it would help the sellers get true value for their items.

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.

Well don't you just have the answers for everything.

One of the great things about ebay is to get thing cheaply. I obviously would have gone higher if I had a chance to bid but this guy 'sniped' the purchase away from me.

I don't bid to jack the price up at all either. Would I want to jack the price up for myself?

This make absolutely no sense. I am annoyed because someone else outbit me at the last second obviously using a snipe system or another system described above. I was not jacking up the price, I wanted the price as low as possible for MYSELF.

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.

My max bit was equal to his bit, the opening bit was $99.

The only reason i didn't go higher with the max bit was I seriously doubted that anyone on eBay would know anything about HH amp and or would pay that much for an amplifier they didn't know anything about.

Apparently, someone else was watching the ebay sale as well.

To be completely honest, this was the first thing I have ever purchased on eBay that wasn't Buy It Now.

Usually I just BIN and move on with my day.

They charge you a buck to bid, and your bid only increments the item slightly ($0.15) - but it also boosts the remaining time by 0:15.

So the winning guy may only pay $80 for his PS3 - and he may have $20 worth of bids into it.

But overall, the site collected $2750 for the item.

Genius. Evil genius.

I ebay-sniped someone once. It was like a $5 item. It was kinda funny.

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. :/

you only have to bid the $40 once, and it will automatically say you bid $16.

I ALWAYS snipe I never bid, unless it's a rare item, and then id bid minimum at the beginning so he wont be able to remove the auction.

The program I use is .50 for a snipe.
