And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a perfect example of why it's pure stupidity to place your bid early.

Actually if you place your max bid early, ebay snipes for you. And if you tie with a sniper the sale goes to the first bidder...

Re: WHAT ? You got to be kidding me...$116.00
Placing a bid early to me is like showing your cards at a poker game. It allows others to seek you out and top your bid which of course are the wishes of eBay and the seller.
I always bid at the last few seconds. Sniping programs from what I can see prevails over eBay's proxy bidding. It seems those that employ such systems win the most auctions.

Re: WHAT ? You got to be kidding me...$116.00
Only because their max is greater. I'll let them pay more than I think it's worth, no matter if they bid in the 1st day or last second. If someone seeks me out and is willing to pay more..let them.

So I have two options... I can bid my max bid of $1000 on the very first day and let the chips fall where they may, or I can wait until the last possible moment and hit it for $1000. The problem with bidding early is this. Some guy out in east BFE also wants this wobble washer, but he's a cheap SOB and wants it as cheap as possible. He's the type that'll place a low bid and see what happens, and if he becomes the high bidder with his $100 bid then he goes on about his week as a happy camper. HOWEVER, if he hits it for $100 and is automatically outbid, he's still got 6 days and 23 hours to mull it over. Chances are good that he'll hit it again for another $25, and again, and again and again. Guys like this will keep pecking away at an item until they either run the price through the freaking roof or they get to be the high bidder. In the case of this left handed wobble washer, Cheap BFE guy has all week to keep coming back and bumping the price of the auction and by the time it ends, it could easily be up to $600 or $700 bucks. Granted, that's still under my max price of $1000, but the truth of the matter is that if I'd just waited until the end of the auction I would probably have bought it for closer to $100. This ain't rocket surgery, guys... Look at the bid history on the license plate clips and you'll see exactly what I'm describing. The winning bidder placed the first bid on Jan 12 at 10:59 PST. On Jan 13 the bidder with 1402 feedback bumped it four times and then on Jan 16 the bidder with 40 feedback hit it NINE times and ran the price all the way up over $100 in order to become the high bidder. The previous high bidder then realized that he had been outbid, so he placed three more bids in order to become the high bidder once again. Around here they call that a pissing contest. If you go back and look at Mr. Newbie with 40 feedback's first bid, it was $29 and if it weren't for the initial bid of $100 from the first guy, that likely would have been the only bid that guy placed. The $100 guy could have sniped it for $100 and would have probably bought the clips for $30. So in regards to Mike V's original question of "what difference does it make", in this particular instance it made about a $93 difference. |
