... there are still bargins to be had!

Just got a Quicksilver snowboarding back pack, specially designed to carry a board outside of the pack when not in used, lots of custom stuff, in built water carry thingy, so can drink while boarding, still had the lables on, brand spankers. £85 in the shops.

I paid £20  :D

I use ebay sniping tools all the time.  OK, 99% of stuff I bid on I lose, but get the occasional bargain.

Spent a fortune on real bargains on egay the last couple of weeks ::)

With sniping, fairly irrelevent, as the highest set snip will win, and humans bidding in last 10s is uncommon/risky, and would have already made up their mind on max bid anyway (so in effect, a snipe).

I leave mine at 5 secs's as any shorter and u hit the slightest connection problem and the darn thing ends up not bidding at all.  Of course, life being what it is, it seems to happen with something u really want that doesn't come up every day on ebay .., at a bargain price lolol.

But i always miss or forget, this way, you see the item you want, you bid your amount and move on, if you win, then whoooo

Its also a good way not to get too excited and bid more than its worth  :y
