I just find it supremely annoying when I get sniped at the last second and it goes for 0.50 more than my max bid... :angry:

True

But then you never know just how much higher than 0.50 they bid above you.

I get frustrated when someone guesses what you have bid and then bids 0.01 more.
:angry:

Hi!

I view it as a game of patience. I have set a bid and left it without sending until the last 10 or 5 seconds....

...gives no chance for a counterattack.... :;):

That is only beause that is what the "next bid" would be. The person very well could have entered $100 more then you or $1,000 more. You do not know and do not get to see it.

Truth is, .050 or $25 does not matter. It was more then you were willing to pay. Right? Couse if you say, well I would have paid .50 more, I ask why didn't you bid a max that was .50 more.

I have two categories when deealing with eBay.
1) Items I want.
2) Items I _absolutely_ want.

I never raise my initial bid on category 1) items. If someone wants to pay more than that, I'll let him have 'em. Category 2) items, OTOH, I fight with tooth & nail to get. These include  Man O'War items I don't have yet but not much else.  :)

I have just 1 rule: not going! I spend too much $ and even more time which I can't afford. Of course having some good friends who find stuff I really want, contact me, and proxy for me on ebay for me is even better!  :D thanks guys!  :D

I guess I have the same philosophy. I do still have a max bid I won't exceed for category 2) items, but I'm more willing to fight for them.

I've decided to revive my blog for general ranting and raving.  :p

Good news on the home front: my wife finally broke down and bought a digital camera.  :)  She got it on discount through her employer. Of course I still have to figure how the darn thing works, but with any luck in the upcoming months you can expect to see some pics from me.   :cool:

I can reliably take digital photographs with mine so far, but it's the fine art of taking them in the "right" lighting and with the "right" resolution that's still eluding me.

Good luck!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Bravo and well done that Lady!

I agree with Maksim, its relatively straight forward to snap your pics, but getting "that" photo (just as you see them in mags) is a refined art.  One I have a long way to go before it is mastered...

anyway- get snapping so we can see you stunties and friends :p
