Outbid in the last two seconds.....

Nice HJ console 2 minutes drive from me.... $90 start bid and $155 buy it now... no bids till I put a bid on with 10 min to go.... figured $150 and I'd be safe ..... guess not..

And Blocker could have had the black T bar plate.... That's what I get for not just hitting the buy it now button...:hiney:

yeh! you gotta hate that... I did the same not long ago.
I have been trying to get a black HX consol for months... but I would by a HJ one or any colour just to have one untill I can get the correct one.

lol doh! Thought I told you how to win things mate ;) Could have got it for $120 cash. ;)

But if you were prepared to pay $150.00 why didnt you just hit the "Buy it now" button and pay the extra $5.00?

Absinth a little bird told me a guy called Jason bought that one too.

I hate when I am trying to buy something cheap as it is described badly, and I ask a question just to make sure the bit I want is ok, and then the boofhead seller puts my question on the item description for the whole world to see.

i use a sniper program..have only ever missed one thing and i reckon it was because the other guy was using another sniper program and he put more money up than me..
the beauty with the sniper programs is they dont know your there till the last 5 seconds or less..
thing is with the snipes you need to decide you are going to pay x amount and then put that much up...it has saved me thousands over the years.

I am one of those sellers that posts buyers questions.

I do it to try and generate a contest and increase the winning bid.

Yep sniping is good for buyers, I've saved money and also hours not having to wait for an auction to end so I can sit there for the last few minutes refreshing the page.

I agree, buyers don't get to see how many people are watching, so posting their questions and your replies usually gets the interest up.
