Hey Ebay users..

[Moosie]

Jsut wondering how you "SHOP" ? I'm looking for a camcorder in a Particular brand so I put that up with no other Criteria. then I took the Prices I thought were Super low and Bid on them. that put all the cameras in my "

Items I'm Bidding On (1-10 of 14 items"

It keeps track of the Items I have a Bid on and ones I get outbid on. I continue through the pages bidding on the item I want and if it's way underbid I'll throw a Bid out on it. I'll either get outbid I figure or end up with the Item I want at a Price I was willing to pay anyways....

Problem is, Well it's not really a Problem I guess, but I have like 6 or so Camcorders that I'm the Highest bidder on. I feel that it's under priced so If I end up with all of them it doesn't really matter, I'll put them on a Shelf, but I'm sure I'll get outbid when it's 1hr or <.

It usually gets to that point and I need to watch it closely or someone comes in the last 2-3 mins and bumps it by a Few bucks and I loose it.

I probably spent several hours today compiling my list and I have several that got out of my range for bidding but several I'm watching.

I guess I'm jsut wondering if you guys are looking for something on Ebay, do you actually bid on several of them and play the "GAME" or do you only do one at a time ?

Don't bid until the last 30 seconds. Just watch the ones you're interested in. Or, if it ends at a time that's not convenient, just bid the maximum you want to pay, but only bid one time. It's stupid to keep bidding in 5 or 10 dollar increments like some do.

YAH, I figured and Learned the multiple bidding.. I had one Item I wanted and right at the End someone Inched up untill they beat mine then I got a 2nd chance bid option. I firgure it was the Seller's alias or a Sellers friend that bid me up jsut to give me a 2nd chance at an Item. Fugg that.

Anywyas.... I bid the one time on an Item then Watch them till the last min. Someone tried to get this last item so I had to bump it. Still got it for about 100 clams under what I would have paid.

Although now I have 3 other camcorders out there were I'm the High bidder

Only bid on one item at a time, pick your cap then with a minute left, put in your cap bid, since it only raises it the minimum your bid will just go up from one increment from where its at the current. Problem is someone might be high bidder and you just type in the next highest increment and it will automatically bump his up again and you will be out then you won't have time to come back over the top of them. So figure out what your cap is then at the last minute bid.

Yeah I've been suspicious a few times that the seller or a friend of the seller was bidding up an item I bid on, but there's know way to know. But it's weird sometimes when there seems to be no interest, and I'm thinking I'm going to get something at some ridiculously low price, then at the end somebody with zero feedback outbids me, and miraculously I get a second chance offer.
