Pops Racer Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 So i found a front lower valance with fog light ports for my '95 855t. i was the only one bidding. i was gonna get it for $10 and $55 shipping, great condition , such a deal. then some weasel pounced with literaly 2 minutes to go. he matched the buy now price, which was also my max bid. byatch. is this common or was this a friend of the seller, bumping the price? i still won because i had same bid first, but what a dick. he obviously did not want it that bad or he would have had a higher max bid. nutsack.AAAARRRRGGHHH, disingenuous butt miner.Seek,Sight, and Destroy!!!hope this is in correct forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pops Racer Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 im not sure whats wrong since you still won?Yeah, i know, i shouldnt be all that torched, but wouldnt that have been an ultimate deal? $9.99 for bumper valance? with fog lite ports no less. Needless to say i've been looking for this part for a while, since R bumpers are near extinct, this was my cool compromise. so its $91 delivered to me not bad, huh? shipped by Greyhound bus from Norfolk, VA. aint that cracker enough for ya?

bmcintyre Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 There's no point in getting in on an auction unless you're going to be there in the last two minutes. The fact that it went just to the BIN price does make you wonder though.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that it went just to the BIN price does make you wonder though.BYeah i know its a good tactic, gdizzle. i have a price in my head i will not go above and usually bid near end of auction with that number as max bid, but i'm not trying to beat the guy by a penny. but i did wonder if he wasnt getting any bites and had his buddy bump it. all's fair in love, war, and Ebay. i checked the guys latest purchases and it was damn near all clothing and movies, not a car part in sight. hey, i got what i wanted at a price i was prepared to pay, and actually came in at least $50 below budget . Thats 25% of my IC hose kit. I would have had those bragging rights tho...ego is evil. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops Racer Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Click meOh shit. Thats bad ass. what a bunch of money has been made on, by, near, around Ebay!! tho i like bidding wars, kinda thrill of competition thing. thats a cool deal if you cant get to your pc or what ever. so i guess i kinda respect the dude for having the right weapons.

Mr Yuck Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I snipe manually with about 3 seconds to spare. The most bids come in in the last 2 minutes on most auctions. Bidding early is bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
