It just keeps seeming to be that ONE guy out there on ebay that beats you by "1" bid of 5 cents.
Once again, an auction I have been watching for a week ended with that 1 guy out there who wins by 5 cents. Why is there never 2 or 3 bidders that battle it out. Just you and that 1 mistry ghost guy who alway screws ya. In this case, I think that its the seller's buddy who out bid me. After he beat me by a couple cents, the item all of a sudden reposted for auction. Ebay is seriously "ORGANIZED CRIME". There is no way that in 90 percent of the auctions you lose, only one guy beats you out by a few cents.

Their buddy is there to drive up your bid to its max.
I Snipe. It is the only way to pay the price I want. I might be willing to pay $100 but that's it. If I bid on day number 1 of a 7 day auction I will see those bidders who come in and keep bidding a dollar at a time to see how high my bid was. Some will give up. By this point (day 3 out of 7) they are just a dollar away from beating me. I'll end paying my max bid or I'm forced to get into a bidding war and over pay. Much easier to wait to the last minute and then make my bid. Instead of paying out $100 I'll get what I want for $30.01. |

I ask because a guy who has so many can stand to lose a few. I appreciate your goal to build such a magnificent army out of out of prouction figures, but come on. It's like complaining that you spraigned an ankle tripping over loose cash. I still need ONE complete Serpentor. But do to lack of availability I don't.
