Just look at it this way, you still have money for the next one!! Hang in there, or do what I do, never shop Ebay and just have one made! Tc
Did this happen to happen in the last few hours

Yea aaron1234, like ten minutes after 7 p m I was bidding on a vintage razor hone nothing really special but I had high bid and last like 3 seconds got out bid by .50 cents and hit the higher bid button and was too late, happened Saturday night on a W&B special I was bidding on. I am really new to ebay, like the last 3 weeks and I think I have a few things to learn ;)
I would love to have a custom razor tcrideshd! One of these days I will, I have two blanks cut from tool steel and was hoping to make it to Howards shop for the meet up but had to work :( they still need ground and heat treated and such. Just have not had any time this summer to finish them, maybe this winter. I really want a blade from Bruno he makes beautiful razors.
In that case welcome to eBay. It happens to me all the time. Eventually I got tired of it and started doing it myself. As far as I know ebay has tried to eliminate this by having you place your max bid and eBay bids for you up to that point but as you can tell it doesn't really work that well. As the old saying go's if you can't beat them join them. Eventually you'll get something just keep trying!Quote:

That is my plan from here on out aaron1234. It is not really that big of a deal just irks ya a bit :D just needed to complain a bit with peoples who will feel my pain. Does suck I had watched this item for like 3 days and not one bid or other person watching it then last second, BAM outbid. That shall be me from here on out.
Be careful what you pray for, you might get it. I've been in your shoes and learned how to snipe auctions too well. When you get to the point where you are glad you lost, then you know it is time to quit looking. Only thing that worked for me to break the habit, but you've probably got a ways to go before you know what I'm talking about. :gl:Quote:

They are probably using Ebay's Auction Sniper program. Google it.
It puts your bid in during the last five seconds so that nobody except another sniper can get another bid in. Your last second bid still has to be higher than anyone else's of course

I have to say sorry tonight hahaa
LOL I like it, jus glad it wasn't me I don't know if I could stand another disappointment right now :D Hopefully you won something cool :D
At first I hated it too. Or the slower bidding war that takes you beyond your budget. Aarrgh!
After reading advice from members here I started setting how much I'm willing to pay. Afterwards you can look at the bids and see where other's have set their limit. I like waiting and watching till last minute or so and then let it go. Boom it goes beyond my limit sometimes and others I get it for way less than I would have paid. Either way I'm feeling more a winner. Especially when it goes beyond my limit. Some one else paid too much and I feel I did not. I might have to wait till another example pops up but a lot of times the next one is in better condition. Couple times got it in better shape and for less than one I lost.
I know what you mean I was so pumped these 2 items were super cheap and I was all giddy for the deal then lost em. Oh well there will be more :) I'm gonna start waiting until the end from now on.Quote:

Yep stinks to miss out on something you want. But setting your max and sticking to it, or going last second so thats it is a good way to make sure you don't over pay. easy to get sucked in.
And yeah drinking while ebaying, nothing good can happen. I remember a few years ago a buddy and I were having a few beers while he was messing around on ebay , he got real fired up about this neon Alaskan Amber sign that was ending later that evening. I ended up going home but the next day he told me he "won" that sign. Ends up he paid about $60 more than a new one would have cost him lol But he won !!
They are killing me on ebay!! I am trying to recoup some razor spending , listed up a couple items and they have deleted one of my ads twice now. I guess I used the wrong words to describe my scope, but so far have violated something about assault weapons, then brand violations... need to rethink my wording and try again hahaa
