People who bid on eBay days before the listing ends.

I've done that before when I've known I'd be away from being able to bid so I'd just put in my max and let it go. If I won fine, if not, fine.

I've never understood the whole bid at the last moment thing. My wife does it. She'll wait till the last moment then put her bid in. I'm like why don't you just put your max bid in and be done with it. She says her ways better. I just shake my head and move on.

By bid-sniping, you avoid bidding wars. Some Ebay buyers are crazy, and they'll battle for an item with their last breath. If you bid in the last few seconds, you'll avoid them.

 

[Snake Plissken]

That's what I do. You're likely able to beat out their max bid without them trying to beat yours, unless there's is higher.

There's also the sellers who will shill bid their items if it's too low so you're better off bidding last minute if you can

I still bid last second too. Plus, you screw over some of the skangy sellers that try to bid up their items when they're not going for as much as they want.

You guys just butted heads with the same point

That's such a ****** thing to do, even more so if someone backs out and you screwed yourself with the higher bid. Just let it play out, you have the option to end the listing up to 12 hours before it ends I believe.

I mention this because I was just bidding on a 1/6 (the 2nd to last one I'll probably get for the year) and I swooped in with 5 seconds left and pulled it out. Got it for $150 cheaper than buy it now listings and it's new and sealed.

 

[Snake Plissken]

the only reason for last minute bidding is if the seller is going to bid against you.
I had that happened to me once, i bid the highest I was willing to bid 3 days before and I noticed someone with zero feedback bid once but they bid a dollar behind me,
they bid 10 minutes before it was over. I was the only person bidding at first.

That zero feedback **** irritates me to no end. I just had a scumbag string me along "oh can you hold these to Sunday?" and you never hear from them again.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I was getting a lot of people asking me to end an auction early and hold an item for them when I had a bunch of stuff for sale last year. I never do that on eBay though, especially when I know it's a good price and the item will sell. People are too flaky on eBay to depend on them to keep their word.

Sniping doesn't win you the item. Your max bid does.

That said, I would snipe for the thrill. But that has been a long time. Buy It Now or I don't bother.

 

[a-dev]

Sniping doesn't win you the item. Your max bid does.

Yeah but the crux of his point is that by entering a max bid early it gives others time to keep upping the end price. Sure our max bid is what we are willing to pay but we'd still love to pay much less than that right? Vis a vis, concordantly if I'm looking at an auction I snipe with my max bid when there's about 5 seconds to go. No one has time to react. Pretty much guarantees me the win and I never actually have to pay what I entered. And obviously my max bid will only be as much as the cheapest 'buy it now' for the same item from reliable sellers so if I lose I'll just go buy that.

 

[EVILFACE]

If you are willing to pay more, then it wasn't your max bid.

It's ebay, the item will show up again.
