I gotcha again... did I outbid you at the last second?
Well here is my philosophy; bid at the last second; bid the max amount you are willing to pay; and have no regrets if you lose. Why last second? Well, that's the way real auctions work... jump in with your last bid just before the gavel falls!
Why not bid early?
Well how do you think I sniped your bid? I know who likes the same type of things I do and I pull up their bidding lists!
Here is another tip... don't buy and sell under the same name! If I know you only paid $14 for something 90 days ago and you are asking $90 now... I won't bid! Also if you sell under a different name you can re-list in less than 90 days without me finding out what you really paid!
PS if I outbid you... remember I Barter; you may have other items that I would be willing to trade for!
