Don't you just hate it when someone just in the last 2 sec beats you to a good ebay deal!! :'(

I've been looking for some GU steel rims for the trailer to match Chunky, and got onto a great deal for four of them , but some clown beat me to them last night by $1.20 in the last 2sec..... "NOT HAPPY JAN"

Yep very annoying. I am looking to get rid of my rims off my trailer and get some to match my Defender, pretty sure mine are GU rims.

I use JustSnipe I think. The beauty of these is that you set yourself a budget and walk away. Auctions can be too emotional. It is probably worth paying for a membership if you buy often, that way you can snipe in the last 2 seconds otherwise I think it is 5 or 8 seconds.

Bid once, bid your max price, and bid in last 3 seconds...

if you win you win, if you lose you win as your not paying more than your willing to pay.

yep, agree... you look at items with 100 bids, they are usually in $ increments...
putting 89cents on it usually wins it for u

Thats the way to do it Lost.
I work out what "X" is worth to me, then add 51 cents and bid in the last 5 0r 6 sec's.
That way I never lose, I either get it or it goes for more than what it was worth to me.

Bidnip

You get it every time, over 1,000 purchases and climbing

Mate did you have a pick of them ?

Mallory Black · « **Reply #14 on:** June 21, 2012, 06:53:42 PM »

we use 2 computers, one to watch while constantly refreshing, and one to place bids

jnik · « **Reply #15 on:** June 21, 2012, 08:09:21 PM »

gixen.com is the go ... free sniping, and you don't even need to set up an account

copy-and-paste the item ID of interest from eBay and (once you've used your eBay credentials to login) enter the amount you're willing to pay

then walk away

means you're not showing your hand (avoiding other bidder's emotional bid increases as well as your own)

you can also "group" multiple similar items ... when you "win" one of the auctions from such a group the other bids are automatically canceled

Yep, thats them, PM me when you ready to swap them out for your LR ones, and we can talk, would be much appreciated.

Bird · « **Reply #18 on:** June 22, 2012, 10:30:41 AM »

I also wont bid on things where you see "private listing - bidders' identities protected"

They are usually the seller that has the same items under 3-5 different Ebay accounts (you look at the photos, the freight amounts, the engrish etc you can see they are the same seller), I trust none of them.

cucinadio · « **Reply #19 on:** June 24, 2012, 01:14:19 PM »

All sorted , got onto another set, and now very happy man!, hope the swag mail is working in a month or so,

liney · « **Reply #20 on:** June 24, 2012, 03:36:28 PM »

Thought I was winning on a hi lift jack & shovel holder and find out that I wasn't the leading bidder- pi$$ed off.

Right!!, after failing at another four ebay attempts (even with snipper), I'm sticking to "buy it now"

, I'm getting the feeling that something is a foot with ebay, never had this problem until recently...mmmm the mind boggles
