This might be the time to become a Travel Bug Sales Person. Eight people are watching mine on eBay! Must be more to this Travel Bug thing than I thought!

Its bidders that count not watchers :)

No-one had bid on my GPS when there was about 18 hours or so to go so I put up a message to say that it was being watched by 10 people and that if anyone wanted it they should not leave it too late!!

 

I had a bid for the Buy it Now price within 45 minutes!

I never bid until the last 10 seconds of an eBay auction :laughing:

Too generous - try 6 seconds. it works for me (more often than not) :unsure:

Very true, snipeing is a major problem with ebay, I too have been known to snipe bargins on ebay, and frankly, there is no other way I would bid on ebay these days, since my idea of a bargain price is apparantly a lot lower that 99% of people, who aparantly are prepared to bid well in excess of what the article is actually worth, and if you do bid slightly above this then there are aways people who will bid higher!

Sorry, I expect one of them is me...and I'm only watching it to see what it goes for :laughing:

Look at the bdding on my small labels.

 

2 labels currently stand at £3.41. They only cost £1.20 each! I expect though that it is to avoid the horrendous P&P charges that some of the suppliers are charging!

I bid with about 5 minutes to go with the highest amount that I am willing to pay.

Example: I bid £50 on an item but I got it for £35.

i bid in the odd numbers like £3:48 as a maximum bid. It can put your bid 1p above the last bid sometimes. Also i bid late as well.

NB my old palm iiix is up for sale at the moment.

Yup i usually watch to find out how much something sold for when i want to bid i do the above without watching the item.

Snipers don't always win by any stretch of the imagination. I lost a GPS60CS by £3 yesterday.

 

If you want to automate your sniping there is always www.snip.pl

 

Very cheap and very good!
