Everyone has their own "system" for winning an auction. STHU and learn to deal with it :)

yes and get outbid by .01 by the guy who bid at the last minute.

You can't outbid by a penny.... there's a minimum increment to the bids.
(unless maybe someone has a proxy bid and you happen to guess how much it is and go 1 cent over)

You're the idiot. I hate snipers. I bid what i want, and just leave it at that.

you must be one of those newbies. I will have to beat u senseless if i ever meet you in real life.

LOL right... i've fought enough koreans in my life to know they're all talk.

according to my sources, that is not really CHEAP. It would be a decent deal if it is in a high quality condition, but definitely not Cheap.

I'll bid on an auction on day 1 all the time. I bid what I want to pay (usually a big discount off what I would have to pay locally). If someone snipes me for the minimum amount to raise the bid, then they wanted it more than me.

LOL, nice flamefest this turned into.

I haven't been on for a year (seller) or two (buyer), but I've been registered over 5 years, I've sniped been sniped and bid early. I do what ever I feel like doing so deal with it :p

If I see something I want I usually bid early but at a low price simply so I can track it, but sometimes not it depends.

yes and get outbid by .01 by the guy who bid at the last minute.

Well that guy wanted it more then the guy who just set his limit.
