    Default HOW CAN I be highest bidder

    I want this item



    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Frontalini-Ita...QQcmdZViewItem

    I know jack about eBay but I'd like to win this auction. What can I do to improve my chances over and above the current high bidder (who seems to be bidding on lots of accordians, under very similar pseudonyms)...??

    It's got 2 hours to run from typing this

    Bid sniper, I suggest www.snip.pl

    It will bid in the last seconds so he doesn't have time to outbid you.

    Ok I've just signed up to that but it says it needs my eBay login/password to do "shots". Surely not

    you dont need sniper software - if ur god anyway

    I won an item earlier at 8 seconds.

    Fast refesh and a bid page ready.

    Just need to make sure you got the cash to fund it and your be fine.

    Lol how else can it make the shot! It's 100% safe, had my account with them for over a year no problems.

    If you not as fast as Spence give it a shot.

    Ok thanks guys. Gonna give me details to that online faceless polish page then, and keep fingers crossed. I'm not an eBayer so haven't done any real stuff before, and without saying why I want that particular accordian I really need to win that auction.


    edit: WTF is it asking me now? It says "eBay settings were changed" and prompts me for new passwords WTF WTF WTF

    What's this asking me for? I put my eBay P/W in and put an item ID in one of the ADD fields...

    Here's my method

    Firefox + Duplicate tab extension + F5 = sub 10 second bid everytime

    A manual snipe is all the more satisfying I reckon...

    Shooooooo-ryuken!

    At the end of the day you just need to bid higher than the other guy lol if he's got more money to spend your screwed lol so make sure you do put in the most your willing to pay, i've lost a few auctions in the past for the sake of a few quid, shit when that happens lol

    Best of luck!

    I advised him to up his maximum bid considerably so that should help, but it's still at £72.99

    8 seconds? amature!

    i'd never give my password anyway, manual sniping all the way.

    i'm sure you'll understand why you lost it, last second counts - not just a thing to say to annoy someone at times like this.
    I'm new to this :huh:
