    Default Ebay snipers

    Ok, guys so why did I loose this one? loser

    We bid the same amount, is it because I bid later? Also, my maximum bid was 60.00 Any thoughts?

    I did try to snipe it also.

    Yep, you got out sniped. Try adding .01 to your bids.

    Exactly... I always add some odd-ball cents amount... seems to work.

    That's the thing. He bid $60 before you did. (Probably proxied something higher when he placed his bid)

    No one mentioned that here

    Oh well, I bet Sammm is right, he bid before me and was probably willing to pay more as well. Its all good, I love my little broken hinges!

    In case of a tie, the earlier bid will always win... It's an eBay rule...

    When sniping you should make it an oddball number... not just .01 more...

    Like 60.89 or 61.12...

    Damned right... I've got to promote this place!

    Besides, the BUR line is in the location bar.
