Ok, who's a bid sniper out there? Call me a nerd but I kinda like the rush that comes with outbidding someone at the last minute. Its also a pleasant suprise if you're a seller when you find out that your items went up $30 in the last 2 minutes of your auction.

and then you realized you bought a $10 item, with 35 bucks shipping.

Then Sniping pwns you.

I just hunt down the people who outbid me. Sit outside there house with a 3030 until the time comes to blast their annoying asses.

Hahaha. I'm gonna do that.

Only time that fails if when the item is worth like $250, and the highest bid is $115, but the maximum bid is like $200, and you bid 120-190..then you just pwn yourself, and you become a jackass to the highest bidder. :mrmeph:

a bid sniper is someone who waits till the VERY last seconds of an auction before he places a bid, usually beating out every other poor soul who placed an earlier bid leaving no time for them to place a higher bid.

yeah man that shipping is bs! probably 80% of the items on ebay are like that

HKB hubs are crap... i got one for like 13.50 and it still wasnt worth it. it just feels like a POS. I ended up tossing it in my trunk and coughing up the 60$ to get a MOMO. i dont regret it at all. man up and pay the money for a MOMO, you will thank me later. it just feels sooooo much more solid. i wouldnt trust my saftey to poor quality.

just my 0.02

also, bid sniping is the ONLY way to Ebay. ;) also A+ for bidding $0.01 over the current price on a "buy it now" item. i.e. item is 13.99 current and 14.99 "buy it now" and at the last second you bid $14.00 so you can save that extra 0.99. damn im a cheap bastard.

what makes no sence????????? making a bid at 0.01 incriments??? while i proxy bid for a 100 bux more?? just makes no sence. incriments of say 20 bux make more sence for larger items.

oh and dont tell me to learn grammar since i was trying to make multiple posts at the same time so obviously i made a mistake. so you just have to tell me i suck at english? i bet it makes you feel a better man, right?

i corrected 1 word and it should make sence. i was gonna put "add" instead of second "and" but i went ahead and changed it to "bid". its a basic mistake dickhead. :mepoke:

Hell yeah,I think you can get better deals doing that. Because if someones willing to spend an extra $30 ,but their too slow to get the bid in...hey hey!

if you had read my first post, i said i bid 0.01 more on BUY IT NOW items... not normal items so your argument is null and void from the get-go.

also, it was not "obvious" you had multiple windows up when you made the mistake. how the shit should i know you had multiple windows open at the time?

only reason i pointed this out was because you 1) didnt read my post correctly and 2) not knowing what the hell you were talking about jumped at the chance to try and flame me.
