A Hone/Razor Collectors For Sale Thread

[sharptonn]

Oh, it is easy to tell how much you lose it by. I think it is the buyers who don't like sniping. Programs OR manually.
Got to get with it and bid at the last second if it is something nice. Sellers love all those snipes, running the price up! JMO

Sniping programs might be different but the one I use doesn't show my bid until the last couple of seconds. It will only show up on EBAY as the winning bid, not what I actually set as my limit. For example, the last razor I bid on I won in the last 2 seconds. My snipe was for $25.00 or so above the final bid. Those are cool.

True. If your snipe bid has been surpassed as it is submitted, your bid will be rejected. Still, if you take your high bid and subtract it from the winning price, you can tell exactly how much you lost by. Plus a dollar, that is!

Say! Did this thread used to be in auction talk?

One thing that always confuses me is if you bid $90 as you max and it sells for $90 and you did not win. I have no idea how that works out, in my mind the winning bid should be more than my max not the same. If it is really simple you can explain it to me but if it is complicated just let it slide, i don;t think I can do complicated tonight, apparently my head is crooked.

If someone else bid 90 max before you did, they win it in the end. It seems that if you don't exceed someone else's bid, but match it, your bid is accepted. Yet you lose in the end.
Anyhoo, this thread should get back on track concerning the classifieds, I reckon........

If there is a tie, both bids coming in for the same amount, the earliest one wins. If they came in at the same amount at the same time I don't know.

If I bid $1,000.00 on a razor that finishes at $90.00 it will appear to the guy that bid $89.00 that he only lost by a dollar. In reality he would have had to bid $1005.00 to have out bid me.

I don't use sniper programs. I prefer the adrenaline rush of waiting until 4 seconds to manually place my bid. It is a definite rush, win or lose.

I have several items that are a little hard to evaluate, because they do not come up on ebay often enough to have any good comparisons to use, or that the condition of the items are not the same. It makes it a little hard at times to say what a good asking price is. Sometimes I wish there was a thread or place to post stuff that is for consideration for sale as well. I also like to trade and sometimes I don't know what I want to trade for. On a few occasions people have asked about this or that in a private message and I have figured out a trade with them. It is a lot of fun, a lot more fun than listing in the classifieds. I would really like to have on site sales be a little looser as far as asking prices. I guess the readers digest version is that I kind of like the classifieds but would like something else too.

That is what I have trouble with too.
What price do I ask for product.
