why didnt you just bid the maximum amount you were willing to pay for it - that way if it stays under that - it's yours you should never miss an ebay auction - only if you dont wanna pay that much it's called proxy bidding |

"it's called proxy bidding" ...Ah, piss off! I know all about it man, but then you give the former highest bidder a chance to up the ante & thats not how I play. |

wow, a polite clarification to avoid offensive misuderstanding! don't see that much around here! nice :) and haha re: ebay. I hate people who say "just put in your max bid and then you'll win unless the price gets too high!" cos that's bollocks. What I'm prepared to pay is always changing and if you leave it til the last moment you might get away with a price much cheaper than the most you want to pay. |

if the item is at $100 with ten seconds to go - and your max bid is set at $200 - anywhere UP to $200 the item is yours - meaning if the next highest bid is $110 - you get it for $110.50 - much less than $200 follow me? |

no |

alright then ill make it even easier if you see an item you want put your max bid down - THE MAX YOU WOULD PAY FOR IT so if you lose - who cares - its too expensive if you win - great - fuck - yippee double dutch if you lose the same item will be posted again at some point - its ebay |

Yes but by proxy bidding, you're giving the chance to all kinds of morons to drive the price way up closer to your max. Say the item was at $100 as a minimum bid. you proxy bid $200 earlier. Someone wants it, they keep piling up the bids until it reaches $180. You win. Yay. Now, let's say you wait until the end. This same chump makes the first bid. Bids $115. No one else is bidding, he gets all excited, he's watching, then BAM auction is over and you are the winning bidder at $116. You just saved yourself $64. What you have to understand is the psychology of ebay. Sure, you may say your maximum is $150 or whatever, but a bidding war is a competition like anything else, and people will do whatever it takes, within reason, to win. Including paying more than they thought they wanted to. Any questions? |

I thought the rule was, you bid twice as much as you think it's worth & then the seller discounts half the price at the end :/ |
