never understand people bidding when there's an hour + left on the auction unless they know they are going to be away from Internet access when the auction is about to end......
The reason why i cant understand this is that anyone putting in a bid in, weather if its the 1st bid or further bid, in an auction with loads of time of left on it, is basically asking for the final price to be more expensive than what it could be
As well may know, this is because there are some very idiotic people which love to be the highest bidder throughout the auction, so every time you choose to bid on it with 3 days left your attracting those idiots to bid themselves, resulting in normally others bidding and the price goes up obviously.
Therefore as mentioned before if you are able to get internet access at the time of when the auction is about to end, WAIT until its nearly finished so that you can stick in a cheeky bid right before its about to end, yeah if you really want anything on eBay start bidding 10 minutes in so you don't risk not meeting the oppositions maximum bid, but i wish people would stop increasing prices when they don't have to, costing me more :D lol ;)
(this isn't against of you lot, I'm sure some of you have your reasons but I'm just giving my opinion and advice on what i think is best when using any auction sites, and I'm sure the majority of you which uses sites like ebay do this when they have the chance to anyway)
Just thought i'd make a thread to see what others think about it :)
once again, not trying to offend anyone on how they bid, just giving my advice ;)
i usually only ever bid early because as you said, not being near the internetz much, after tomorrow imma be in me garage head down building my bike and i cant rely on the wife to upkeep for me, so i stick in an early bid and prey other peoples are blind
i dropped my telemabob down the toilet, so only wifi works on mine, no network coverage or anything :( and apple wanna charge me £250 to repair it when i can buy a new one for pretty much the same price, just cba, and ****ty BT Wifi on the home hub is shyte they big it up so much yet it cant even go through 19inch granite walls and 30ft down my garden to my garage, yet if i remember they boast 100m range on them or something?
yeah i no what u mean i alweays set reminders in my fone for stuf ending then bid at verry end, works for me any way, but yeah some people are dumb about it
Pfft. I just get a kick out of bidding. If I want something I leave it to the last minute. Otherwise I just bid cause I'm not bothered whether I win or lose.
I always put a bid on soemthing I want as soon as I see it, just to claim it and put some people off bidding, then I always snipe in the last 4 seconds or so, seems to do the trick.

I'm not surprised! 19 inch granite walls! That'll cripple the signal.
Also DIY the iphone. just buy a new hhousing off ebay.
There is a possibilty aswell that the seller of the item maybe getting some else to up the price on their behalf to get a higher sold price for the item. This is not uncommon practice by any stretch of the imagination. Anything thats serves the public is open to abuse which can be anything from goverment to the police etc right down to Ebay. Sad but true. ...
