Re: Don't you just hate it when you set a snipe...
Very true.....
I had been watching this item for days and it was at a low price and it seems that someone just went crazy bumping it up in the middle of the week.........oh well
There were a couple of pairs of Oregon issued Nike football cleats on Ebay, I did'nt really pay attention and missed the end of auction...A week later there was another pair on auction, but it ended while I was away on vacation over the 4th...So I set a maximum bid I assumed no one would ever touch...So I get back ready to pay, only to have lost the auction...For some reason I really wanted these cleats even more than before..I actually contacted the buyer to see if he was willing to sell the pair I lost (since he bought all three pairs) and he was willing to listen...He was going to use them in a display with a uniform...He said it did not look as good as he had hoped and did sell them to me for my asking price...I was glad I contacted him, because he said he would not have otherwise listed them for sale.
Re: Don't you just hate it when you set a snipe...
I thought that this auction was under the radar as it sat with one 9.99 bid for days and then all of a sudden was over $50. I went as high as $75 and still lost and that was way more than I wanted to pay.
Re: Don't you just hate it when you set a snipe...
On the one hand, I do hate it...on the other hand, I don't get involved in bidding wars any more. If I'm "overpaying" I know it going in. It doesn't get to be an ego thing.
And I've lost dozens of auctions by...$1.00!
Re: Don't you just hate it when you set a snipe...
I always use sniping, even if I'm right here at my computer. I just love how it can bid for you 10 seconds before an auction ends. But I've still lost a ton of auctions from sniping, most of the time it's by just a few cents!
