Why is it that you always get outbid in the last few seconds.
Bid on some BBS RM's and was happily watching my winning bid 4 secs b4 the end and POW, some w4ank3r came in and beat it by £10.
Well pissed off as I wanted these for my E21

Anyone have an answer??

Auction snipers?

Post Mon Jun 22, 2009 1:01 am

I always put in the absolute maximum I want to pay, plus a few pennies!

I won my chromie over 32 pence!

Shame you lost the RM's, they would have looked stunning on your E21! Hows the project going anyway?

Post Mon Jun 22, 2009 1:07 am

Project is still on hold until I have everthing i need.
Just waiting on wheels and rear diff now.

These wheels were in the uk too

The time the bid goes in is not really relevant, the problem you had is that somebody else was willing to pay more

Post Mon Jun 22, 2009 11:07 am

I think £500 for a set of BBS RM's in need of refurbing was about right.
The dishes alon are £80 each.

If someone's willing to pay more than you though, you aren't gonna win!

Post Mon Jun 22, 2009 11:11 am

I was willing to go that bit more, but i had my limit.
Suppose i'll keep looking

It's not rocket science.Bid your limit in the max bid box.You'll often be pleasantly surprised by how much less you win an item for,plus you'll be the bidder with that last second bid

Post Mon Jun 22, 2009 1:48 pm

That sucks man

Keep on looking, another set will come up

Syre does

Post Mon Jun 22, 2009 5:17 pm

Slightly OT but you got the 8J's yet?

Post Mon Jun 22, 2009 6:19 pm

Nope, didn't want to sell

Post Mon Jun 22, 2009 9:50 pm

Guess what i just won!!!!
Some lovley BBS RM's splits for a very good price.
Put an unrealistic high bid in and didn't even get anywhere near it.

Post Tue Jun 23, 2009 12:37 pm

Taking the cabby?

Rav, sign up now on www.auctionstealer.com

You get 3 free snipes per week, it bids on your behalf 10-15 secs from the end. Put your max on, and it'll do the rest. Ive been using it for 5 years, never lets me down, never been a problem.

The reason to use this tool, is that you don't show your interest until its too late for someone else to react to your bid, and then perhaps outbid you.

For the seller, its bad news, for the buyer, good news.

Typical timing, I'm in Dorset, and came past Birmingham last week!!!

If they need picking up / storing then give us a shout, assuming they are not miles away from me!

LOL, mark, i still need to pay him on collection, and wouldn't ask you to fork out the money on my behalf.

Thanks for the offer.

BTW he's somewhere round here.

Witchampton (posh!!) It's a bloody nightmare to find any properties there...

It's right down the road from me... in fact I'm just about to go drive near the place and do some work up the road from there.

Pop on round if your in the area!
