OT whats with this Ebay scam crap?

[Paul in NZ]

you can also get auto bid programs that you can set your maximum bid into and tell it to bid with a few seconds to go...so you are sitting there with your item virtually in the hand untilthe last 5 seconds.By the time you have tried to up your bid by 5 ducks its to late.

I bought 5 wheels not too long ago - 1 was severly bent and 1 more was slightly bent! (I paid 50$ for all 5 + $100 for shipping so can't complain too much)

I see the guy has many of these wheels, so chances are good he can remedy if there is something that is not good. Shipping is a killer though. Mine were shipped with tires on which I think helped protect the rims.

The auction says "Ends Dec-29-04 06:49:37 PST". So you might be better off if you just bookmark the page or add it to your "My E-Bay" watch and at about 06:45:00 PST Thursday, start to bid again. Otherwise you'll just continue to bid against the other bids coming in, and then they will bid against you.......and on and on and the price just goes up and up. You got nothing to lose. Just keep an eye on it. The "Buy it Now" is now gone because the reserve has been met. OR, if you'll pay, say $325, and not a penny more, put that in as your max bid and just wait and see what happens. Ain't this fun??

I have sniped at the last minute, and have gotten screwed too, so I don't complain about it. I guess it all comes down to your max bid being the highest at the last minute.

Jeff,

The real movement happens in the final few minutes. The real bidders come out using the proxy bidding with a maximum or if they really can't live without the item, bidding it up in the last minute or two.
I'd just wait till the last 30 min.
