Oakley FMJ Watch eBay listing

Like I said.

Walk ten paces, turn and fire.

Pray your gun is bigger and your aim is better. One chance, all or nothing. None of this shoot each other back and forth with paintball nonsense!

If in the final seconds you thought $5000 would grab it and it went to 5,000.01 suck it up. You lost because of a penny. Your ceiling was 5 grand and you got beat. Whoever bought that watch got beat by a dude with zero feedback. Personally I would have let him win it. Pay up sucka!

That's how I see it!

As Medusa kept pointing out, there were 13 bidders on that auction, consisting of 12 idiots and 1 player. You look at these people going back and forth putting in maximum bids just high enough to take the lead then getting outbid again. With plenty of time left on the auction. They think that strategy is going to work?

I mean, I can understand rookie behavior (Mr. Zero Feedback may have been a shill but he also could have been a non-ebayer who joined just for that auction) but c'mon, how can you get up to 100+ feedback without figuring it out yet? That i***c dude has 1061 feedbacks and he made five small-increment bids! Seriously? Bidding like that, how much money has he thrown away on the auctions he's actually won, driving up his final price with early back-and-forth?

The only one who knew how to play sniped with 3 seconds left and won it. That's how you do it. Last second you snipe with your TRUE maximum bid, one not based on the current bid or other people but what truly is the max you'll pay for the item, and either you win or you lose.

All that other activity, the only one winning there is the seller.

It would have been much more interesting to see that auction sit for 10 days with no bids then have a flurry of activity in the final seconds with only one man left standing. Like the climax of an Akira Kurosawa film, samurai who only drew their swords at the last second for a single killing stroke...

Why are you sharing our sniping secrets!!! I have won so many items waiting to the last seconds to put my Max bid in :)
 
You know there's a whole segment of eBayers who bid early on auctions they know they won't win (and don't want to win actually) just to get others to outbid them right? It's not a strategy at all- it's just f***ing with people.
C'mon dude with the 1,061 feedbacks... spring for another $101 in the last 10 seconds.... show 'em how it's done!!!
