yeah, ive had an ebay account for sometime now,ive never sold anything though
i always find stuff i want to buy then put it off, and they're gone by the time i get back to buying them mad.gif
sometimes they have some really crazy stuff on there
i saw someone on there trying to sell a piece of toast that had the virgin mary on it (or so they said)
anyways Ebay kicks ass, you should check out some of the metal t-shirt stores they got on there im not sure if they're silk screen but they still look rad smile.gif

Someone beat her in the last second, wow that must have left bruises, poor girl laugh.gif (just pokin' fun) I recently listed two different products on Ebay but I didn't get any takers so I ended up paying a few bucks for listing. Regardless, I think Ebay is pretty cool and I bid on occasion. The last thing I won was a product that may help my window cleaning business. Most of the time I take a quick glance to see if I can get it cheaper than somewhere else.

I think bidding at the last second is the only way to go. If people all bid near the beginning or at anytime other than the final 20 seconds, the prices tend to be higher because everyone is driving up the bid. I find that jumping on something in the last second gives better results because people won't have a chance to increase their bid beyond what they have already put in.

ya that is what everyone does, or at least the frequent ebay buyers. they all wait until the last minute then thats when all the bidding goes down. I can even tell you how many times i've been out bidded in the last 25 seconds of an auction.

ya, most "veteran" ebayers put their bids in at the last second. I've actually seen an item with no bids up until the last 45 seconds where like 25 bids were put in. But, it's just like a real auction. That's what happens there too.

the problem with bidding at the last second is that you really need high speed internet. You can't possibly do it with dial up or a similarly slow connection. It might take you 30 seconds just to load the confirmation page and by then the auction is over.

One of my pals got cheated very badly by the paypal - ebay system. Looking at him, I think it is better I step out of it. www.paypalsucks.com => Go to this site and read some facts.
