cardude238 is actually the seller.
isn't that usually how it is? it's kinda like, hey why don't you just put a reserve on the item instead of trying to jack the price up and scaring the bidder off? ehhhhhhhhh?
if cardude is not the seller....then well then his user name pisses me off. go by spark plugs cardude! stay out to the jewlery section!

I've been through that. I was wanting to get this one Boss multi effects pedal. The original price is almost 2 grand and I had $180 on it.
I held onto the highest bidder slot for 3 days. On the last day, I was watching it. 20 mins left. I'm still the highest bidder.....5 minutes left, some other person bid on it. I ended up having a bidding battle till the last second with the fucker till it got out of my range.
But, his name was bidder3. I checked that name and it was a freshly created name so I assume they create names and outbid people when the price isn't what they want.
I'm having bad luck with the joint. I won Season 6 of the Sopranos. (didn't actually win it but I bought it without bidding). I paid for it, the seller immediately sent me an email with a tracking number. I've been keeping tabs on the tracking and it says delivered on the 5th.
I haven't gotten anything. I went to the post office, they told me it was delivered. I ask my mail carrier and he says that he didn't deliver it and would have remembered so now I have to contact the seller and have them retrace it!!

sounds like you guys just need a few lessons on ebay.
Who cares if you are the highest bidder for 5 days? you dont need to be. its only the last second that really counts. bidding on an item with days left only raises the price unnecessarily. Don't bother bidding on an item until the last minute, there is no need to. i.e. if you put in a bid with 5 days left, someone else will say 'i want to be the highest bidder' and put in a higher bid. Then you do. They they do. All this with 4 days left. every time you put in a highest bid you raise the price and end up paying more. So just leave it. Keep it in your watch list. Then, with a min to go, pouce.
Or better yet, get this. (www.powersnipe.com) You put in your highest bid, and with 2.5 seconds to go, it will bid for you. As long as your max bid is higher than anyone else's max bid, you will win it every time. It has saved me hundreds of dollars beacuse i dont get in bidding wars anymore.

I was about to buy an 8 track recorder. Good price, "actual" pics...The only thing is, the guy's name was ass chin. He had no feedback so I couldn't take him seriously.

Yeah, that's the techinque I do now. That pedal was my second bid ever. Now I don't even bid on anything that has more than a half hour left.

I always pounce at the last second. The only time I'll bid way ahead of time is on a cheap book or CD where I'm only willing to pay a little bit of money and I don't care if someone wants to outbid me.
I buy a lot of things that are described badly and so they're cheaper than they should be. I got a nice ticket to one of the small Radiohead shows because it was nearly impossible to tell that it was second row.

(y) Of course, sniping is the only way to go. Bidding before the last minute just means your increasing the price in most cases.... Noobs.
