T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,365 #2 Posted October 8, 2007 Man, I would be kicking myself over losing that - only $15, huh? That would have been stealing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,130 #3 Posted October 8, 2007 Can't tell ya how many times I've done that too. Sometimes I'll watch items just to see what they go for. Just yesterday a "like new" "Toro Wheel Horse" plow 1999 model sold for $37. I should have bought that then waited to sell it during the first snow storm :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz 502 #4 Posted October 8, 2007 Whenever I see something on ebay that I'm interested in, I figure out what's the most I'd pay for it and make that my first and only bid. That way you don't forget it or get caught up in the last minute bidding war and pay twice what you wanted to. If it sells for less than your maximum bid, you win it for the lower price. I bid $225 on an 854 and won it for $71. Surprise! didn't expect to win it and had to tell the wife "ummm, honey I accidentally bought another tractor.........."

Curmudgeon 28 #5 Posted October 8, 2007 I agree with Buzz. Use logic, not emotion on Ebay, and you'll get a lot more deals, and never bid more than what you really wanted to spend but got "caught up" in the bidding. Dale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,130 #6 Posted October 9, 2007 eBay is an interesting place, for the most part I have gotton some pretty good deals. Most of the things I bid on I would never have been able to buy locally so eBay can be a best friend for those obscure things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
