Ebay bid snipers?

[gaz1]

When you come across an item of interest, view it once, screen grab all of it. And don’t go back until the last hour. Never EVER add anything you actually want to your watch list.

If you really must check and see how the items doing, do a broader search that the item can come up in if possible, make sure you click on something else, and draw the algorithm in that direction. If not just check the item is still there and move on, again do not actually visit the listing.

If you’re looking for weird and obscure stuff, which lets face it if your on the forum you probably are, this works very well.

I sometimes wonder how many auctions the forum has wrecked for savvy bidders with the eBay etc. bit in the for sale section!

i kinda bookmark them on the pc than use ebays watchlist

do another check nearer the time using the bookmarks i have makes no difference if your logged into ebay or not

even this forum has had some bargains from me and my bidding on items

some ebay actions are for the members on here so the interest in the item is better for them even i would use that method as well

I have had a a lot of success adding items to my watch list though, invariably get an offer because I have shown an interest, I normally counter offer.

This has been working well for me recently.
Often times it's something I either added to a watch list or placed in a basket and forgot about. If it's been a slow moving item the seller will knock something off, sometimes worthwhile, sometimes not, but it means they're prepared to entertain a lower offer.
