EBAY Bids
« on: January 28, 2009, 12:49:02 PM »
I am sitting here bidding on a camera on ebay and got to thinking more about the fact that we may be bidding against eachother. I'm not sure how you guys feel about it but we may be able to save each other a few bucks by letting each other know, I know that if you want one you're gonna bid anyway.

Right now I am bidding on a W80 Item number: 150322528920

Don't bid until the last 30 sec. I'm not joking. You want to wait until the last little bit otherwise you are just raising the price. When you do bid put in the highest amount you are willing to pay. It will only go to the highest bid it wont go to that amount unless you are beat. I always do this and I even got beat in the last 10 sec the other day on an item.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

I normally wait until the last 10 sec and bid as much as I would be willing to pay, I always add .57 cents to the bid, you would be surprised how many items I've won by .50 or even 7 cents
