My sniping style is to sit there and wait for 2 secs.
but stuffs means nothing to me now so i might never again snipe stuff.

It's not about what you get. It's about how much you buy it. Sniping is the easiest way to find it cheaper. I'm sorry but, I'm one of those guys. Coticules 20x5 with1.5cm thick coticule for 30GBP, light colored Celebrated razors for 40$, Charnleys for 40€ and so on. The first years I started buying from ebay I was bidding when I watched an item I liked. But there is no honor! ( ) So you have to do what the people you are badmouthing are doing. And the watchlist helps you do so. So ebay not only doesn't discourage it, it promotes that kind of behavour, but I'm not sure if I'm against it.

And something else; stop paying so much for stones and razors! Don't be greedy, two of each kind for everyone is enough. Three the most. 200 and 300$ for sheep shears stone is a very high price. And when you buy it for such a price you will sell it for a high price. There is enough for everybody. Especially for razors.

Are you sure that 3 is enough i only have 50 natural razor hones.
and a few manmade ones.
I kind of prefill a really great natural stone for some reason.
I just have 50 to go to get to that awesome number of 100 razor hones.

2 from each. 2 Eschers, 2 Coticules, 2 quality Jnats and so on. I also have 50 something, but they are different ones. I only have more than 2 BBWs. The rest are one of its kind. Oh and two C12Ks If they are man made it doesn't counts though. And I also intend to reach 100, and many more people I'm sure. But not 100 Eschers. Find what suits you, and that's enough. The rest of the world also needs some. If you buy 10s of each, you will influence the price of a rare stone and I'm sure it is already happening. The new people interested in hones need to know about them, and not only from posts. Many of them might not have hundreds of $ to buy one. I waited 6 months to find a reasonable priced Charnley when I was new. We need to be reasonable. And I hope it's not too late.

I use baygenie on my iPad, love it. I actually spend less, as I don't bid the item up 4 days prior, then get stuck in a bidding war and go even higher,
I set my limit and worry about it after.

Not bad mouthing. Just saying I don't remember snipers being this prevalent last time I was into bidding not just buy it now. I said it was my own fault anyway. :shrugs:
