bongobobny Posted May 5, 2008 Share #2 Posted May 5, 2008 Yah! Got outbid (sniped) on an '85 trunk advertised as an '84... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted May 5, 2008 Share #3 Posted May 5, 2008 Yep, it's the season. Everytime someone...hess4less in this case.... parts out a complete bike and gets big bucks for a lot of the parts, the other sellers come out of the woodwork and jump in. Which is a good thing for the buyer because the prices will start to drop again. It's just a supply and demand thing.... Be patient grasshopper.....

rhncue Posted May 5, 2008 Share #7 Posted May 5, 2008 Got sniped on set of forks. Thinking of putting the parts I have togather. E-snipe is the only way that I will bid on e-bay. If you just put in bids others do the same and the competition starts, often culminating in a price that you could have purchased new at. I once seen a new windshield go for over 250.00 with over 20 bids. At the time, they could be bought new from Yamaha for right at a 100.00. I use E-snipe and enter a price that I would be willing to pay for that item and if I get it fine, if not then that's fine also. I've won many auctions that way. Yesterday I got both front turn signal assemblies for a first gen for 17.53. I've seen these go as high as 50.00 for one. I also got out bid on a set of forks yesterday. I had a e-snipe bid of 126.53 and some one had a proxy for a higher amount. Oh well. Dick :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's only me, but I hate being refered to as the winning bidder. I didn't win a dang thing, I just bought something..... When I win something it better be free..............
