Thread: Why you might wait until the last seconds to place your max bid.

I've never cared much for those sniper programs.
I simply put in my maximum bid and wait for the email telling me I've won.

I do a little of this, a little of that. I put an early bid on it. Nice and low. Where I would be happily amazed if I won it. Later on, I decide if I actually want to go any higher on it. Sometimes I will put a proxy bid of a higher amount, and sometimes I will go to the snipe and set that instead. All depends on how bad I want it. Or, if I am in a bad mood, how badly I don't want YOU to have it!

Happy day, there were no further bids on it. I still think if I had done a last seconds bid I might have saved $40.

Very nice! That's a great looking blade...I'd have that off to Valery for some rehab and wait for it's glorious return...personally, that would be stunning all cleaned up, with a nice new bevel set and finished on his Escher, and of course, a beautiful set of black buffalo horn 3-pin scales, or maybe even some blonde horn....do you have any restoration plans for it?

I've got three of those blades now. I'm seriously thinking seven day set, in black horn. A long term project for sure that may never come to pass, but I'm going to try.
