Use Bidnapper..its owned by eBay, so your bid is already in their system. It goes in at the last possible fraction of a second. Also they will send you an email prior to the auction ending, to let you know if there is another bid (not seen) that exceeds yours. I use it all the time and always win the auction. *I never bid on a car unless I have seen it before the close of the auction. **A picture is NOT worth a thousand words.......
I also factor in shipping costs before bidding. Despite rule changes there are still guys out there charging $10 handling fees on a magazine or wont combine shipping on multiple sales.Read the fine print before bidding.
I fell asleep with the laptop open and 6 minutes left in the auction. Missed out on a cool Kustom grill for my Merc. Sold for 49 bucks!!!! Had to laugh at myself
I won a house that was "bank owned" in a bidding war with another dude. I knew it was gonna be 55k so I figured he'd go 55,010.00 and I went 55,011.01. I won it for a buck and a penny. Then the witch won it in the divorce. But,,,,I STILL WON!!!!
Ive done similar things multiples times. Once I had 25 mins left to wait on an auction so I decided to flip around the TV channels and found American Graffiti on one of the channels, ended up forgetting all about eBay. Another time I had like 10 mins left and ended up getting a call from this rather attractive female friend of mine. Needless to say my mind was not on eBay during our conversation which went on well past the auctions end
Where'd you hear that? This is from their website: eBay is a registered trade mark of eBay, Inc. Bidnapper.com is not affiliated with eBay, Inc.
I'm sorry but that is some funny **** right there. As many have said before me, bid what you are willing to pay for it, anything less and you are just beating yourself. I'm sorry but I can't feel sorry for you...at all.
I hate when that happens. You just have to put your max bid in there, what you'd be willing to pay tops. Keep plugging!
Bidnapper is also a ripoff. A friend of mine was using bidnapper,but then he noticed something,it would falsely report higher hidden bids to him. I use a program,not a website.
