Thread: Don't you just hate it when this happens?

  1. Don't you just hate it when this happens?

    I'm bidding on an auction for Bare Knuckle 3 on Ebay, I'm going on the site day after day to check on the auction. I've got the top bid for as long as the auction has been on, yesterday I log on with 10 minutes remaining, I'm still the top bidder, it goes down to one minute 30 seconds and I'm still the top bidder, I then log off thinking I've got this one in the bag.

    I log on today and in my e-mail I've got a message from Ebay stating I've been outbid. I lost the auction.

    Some SOB waited until the last second, practically, to put in his bid.

    That sh** pisses me off, I feel like I've been robbed.

    It's happened to me before, I might have to start doing the same.

  2. Sniping, it's SOP on Ebay. As is driving the price up when you have no intention of buying the product.

    Welcome to the Internet.

    If really want something, you keep an eye on it until it the moment it expires.

    Deal. If you want it that bad snipe it yourself. It's how I got my NGPC after I was outbid in the last 10 or so sec. I had a seperate browser open with my max bid in it, all I had to do was click ok, so I did and I won at the last second. Use your fucking head if it means so much to you to win.

    Matt! Stop looking at your arms. I didn't mean that kind of tone.

  9. If you are frustrated with Ebay snipers, try esnipe.com... automated bid sniping, all for around 1% of the bidding price.
