sniping article

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle but your right!

I give him credit for controlling his greed. Well done snipe hunter:D :D

Is it greed control, or not wanting to pay Ebay fees?

Greed control I am sure.:cool:

Well my non snipe razor arrived today. It is Triangel (Fermarud) 4/8 round point brand spanking new. 3 pins. If its as good as the Rudolf Schmidt 7/8 I got from him I will be very happy. :D

New Rudolf Shmidt 7/8 went for $40 and I just got another hasn't arrived yet ( Sorry Randy) for $30 also brand new. I hope the second is as good as the first. If you were waiting to snipe this auction you would be out of luck. What a concept "know what you want for something and not try for more" wow. In fact I think wopmanfixit got a beautiful Dorko from him..

I don't see the point. If you want to do that why not just do a "buy it now"?

This is not correct. You can only end fro specific reasons related to error or the item not being available. Because you feel like it is not one of them, and if you end early you would haveto lie and pick one of the allowed choices.

That was not an option. It was just a regular auction which he stopped when he got what he wanted.:shrug:

I realized that. It just seemed strange to "violate" the rules when you could just do a buy it now.

Oh Yeah I guess he could have done that. :thinking:
