I HATE EBAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everytime I am in the lead for a stinkin' tiara somebody outbids me by like 50 cents @ auction close. How the hell do you girls score so much from ebay?
I am going to go into the city on Tuesday looking for a tiara otherwise that expensive one I saw is mine!!!!!!!
ebay- scmebay!!!!!!!!!!

Ok I am done!

There are programs called Ebay snipe programs that monitor auctions, and do that for them. Not fair, but...what are you gonna do.

Thats interesting about the snipe programs- makes me feel a bit better.
Is there a trick to it?

I wait until the last 45-30 seconds of an auction before I bid at all . . .

Re: I HATE ------ ( VENT)

I wait til 1 min and enter a maximum bid. Like if it's going for $22, enter the most you would spend on it, like $25. As long as no one else entered a higher maximum bid then you, the price will go to 22.50. Then by the time the other person tries to enter $23, they will get a message that they were outbidded and the auction will be over.

Alot of people wait until the last moments of an auction to put in the winning bid, so you should check just before the auction ends so you can put in the winning bid!
