Bidding with 6 days to go....amateurs.
I lost out on an original Spurs silk/satin scarf the other day (wasn't to anyone on HERE was it?)

Timed my strategy perfectly... 'watched it' for 48 hours... put a bid in with 1 min to go... (in case of automatic Maximium bids)... which there were... upped it with 20seconds...and then 5 seconds on the clock... STILL lost out to some cunt prepared to pay stupider money than I was!
Shouldn't have used 'Levy tactics I guess !

Been there. People use sniping software on ebay and if you're up against someone with it, you have no chance

It's pretty simple though isn't it? Figure out what the most is that you're prepared to pay for something. Put this as your maximum bid. If you get beaten by a snipe you can shrug your shoulders.

was it a yellow silk scarf from the 70s/80s you were bidding on?
 
So you end up getting sniped if you have already put in your max bid as he suggested. You can't beat a sniper end of and ebay is full of them

Sniper the Sniper?

....Can't be pissed just cos someone's prepared to pay more than you.
 
9,200 for harry's, just 39 bids. Big hitters. All but 2 bids were on opening day!
2,050 for moussa, 51 bids. Penny pinchers.
