So whats the difference between chosing not to bid on something and SNIPING? Both mess with the final outcome...To me sniping is wrong. I have lost several auctions in the last few seconds...by a few cents...with no time left to bid....I also collect model airplane kits and there are times when I back off because I know the other guy wants it a lot more than I do...I have also e-mailed others to let them know about an auction I found, in case they are interested...Really there is no real answer to this question...there are two sides...The only right way to bid IS TO NOT LIST THE OTHER BIDDERS AND EXTEND AUCTIONS if a bid comes in at the last few seconds.....Bob
BTW...To stir the pot more...."I read somewhere about a sniping game...seems its quite a rush to see just how close you can come to the end....and still lose!!!!!" Where did I put my stopwatch???....Down to 2 seconds.... BTW2...If a "Aeronca" Speedee bilt comes up....KATY BAR THE DOOR!!!!!!!!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 6:56 PM Subject: [S-Trains] Re: Bidding against s-list members > Any S-list members who sell on ebay or other auction sites should > take heed of some of the previous comments on this board.
