3800 any ever do this on ebay?

[Kyle]

anyone ever notice things that might be ending soon and the price is insanley low and u know the people bidding on it would pay more for it?

when i see thing like that i'll throw in some bids just to drive up price and mess with people.

its pretty fun.

it hasnt back fired on me yet, since i really on bid on things i wouldnt mine owning for dirt cheap anyway.

just a funny thing i was doing earlier to pass the time.

the majority of auctions do not really go up until the final mins of the auction ... another thing is you really dont know what the actual high bid of something is until you bid to meet or beat that persons high bid.

but i will on occasion throw in some bids just to see what the high bidder went up to ...

one other tip ... if you are looking at something and you put it in your watch list ... go back and email that person and make offers if they are relativly new to ebay they will get all nerveous because they have not received any bids and dont think their item is going to sell .. so they will usually take your offer if it is resonable. Again all because they dont realize that the item is going to shoot in the final mins.

yup sometimes, it's fun... i never bid on anything til the final few minutes anyway... there is really no point in bidding 3 days before it closes... i haven't bought anything on ebay in forever.. i mostly sell stuff

It was a lot of fun when we first got our cable hookup. I could place a few bids in the very last minute and win things......... Everyone else was on dial up and couldnt refresh quick enough.

That method of bidding has backfired on me big time. I bid on an Audi S4 for an insanely low price - and low and behold - I ended up winning it! Luckily, the seller did not disclose some facts of the car, so I got out of the deal through some loop holes.

If its something I really want, Ill snipe it. Final seconds, 3 windows up with different prices in them. That way if I still didnt get the highest bid, I can switch over and bid again.
