Ok when you buy on ebay people dont get carried away with the stupid shop victoriously bullshit ads.

Ebay is a great place to sell your stuff and to find bargains if you do it corrrectly. Here a perfect example of some assbag screwing both buyers.


Paint gun for sale from a specific vendor I'm looking at. He has at least 8 of the same gun listed all for the same starting price and buy it now price. I put a bid for the starting price on one of them and for nothing more.

Another bidder comes along named chevyman84029 and trumps my bid. WHY??? This guy has at least 8 of these things listed and I can guarantee they wont all get sold. There is no need to trump my bid here. All you need to is bid on one that hasnt been bid on.

Instead this ******* drives the price up. WHat for? We both lose by having to pay more money and this is a production item. He will keep 8 of these listed at all time for the same prices. There is no need to bid against anyone to get what you want in this case.

Be smart. Shop smart. Look at the vendor your buying from. IS this what he does or are they an amateur? IF he's got thousands of feedback this person is a ebay store and they have production items for sale all the time.

You dont get into a bidding war on a production item unless your a complete jackass. Its going to be re-listed, thats how they make their money. Multiple sales not individual sales.

Another moron just trumped his bid. IDIOTS!!

My bet is the seller knows what hes doing and has just the right amount listed that all of them get bids. At the last minute all 8 will probably get a few bids, you just caught it early.
I hate ebay people though

I agree, I didnt think I'd need to wait til the last minute though, all it takes is someone paying attention and we both win. He's got them ending about 8 hrs apart. Best time to hit these are the ones that end late night.

or the seller has anothe ruser name and is bidding up his items. If you know what your doing you can tell what peoples higest bids are. This is why it is best to wait till the last minute to put in your highest bid.


say an item is at 100.00 you put in a maximum of 175.00 well if you do it right you can make it so you get to the point where he puts in 174.99. then hes got you at your highest bid. He makes more moeny. There might of never even been anyone else interssted in that item. but you just paid 75.00 more for it!.. Trust me i know how it works!!

Bidding on your own **** doesn't always work. I try to find different people bid on my cars everytime. Its really annoying

Yep thats called shilling the bid and I've had people do it for me as well. I've beenon there since its inception man, I know all the tricks.

eEbay could care less, they more it sells for the more they make. They are truley evil as well.

Ebay is a good place to buy parts and stuff...sometimes, bottom line is you have to know what you are bidding on and what its worth. If you are a seller though its great because morons like that are giving away their money.

Sorry, but this isn't LSX-related.

Maybe that bidder is a friend of the seller? By bidding on the same item you bid on, he just gave the seller more money.
