Do you believe this!

[whinewine]

If you check the bid history, you will notice the two main doofuses, o***o & y***i , consistently fought to the death once the bid hit $25 . Once they started the 'gottahaveit/gottahaveit/gotta/gotta/gotta/nomatterwhat', the stupidity dam broke over these two and tweedledumb & tweedledumber drowned.

well they saw the other one go for 75 $ and figure they are getting a good deal.......

Hi Suze,

I guess they didn't see the two Bob Beard tools that went for around $35 each, although they weren't the border stamp pattern which would have went for way more.

The way this is going, the seller must be on the phone with Ron daily to get more.

Again, check out the bid history... one of the same tweedledums, y***i, is now duking it out with a new doofus, q***i & there are still over 4 hours to go in this auction... Oh, who will win THIS bargain??? (And at WHAT price?)[...hand across forehead...swoon...]

This is a leathercrafters' soap opera!

Now do you see why i do not do any business with ebay. i done my share of business don't get me wrong.I was mainly a seller and sold a lot of Gopmh tools for good money. those same tools i sold for 40 to 50 dollars each now sell for 5 to 10 dollars each.go figure. ebay the place for dummies

Why is y***i bidding himself up? It appears like he has done this 5 times.

[bruce johnson]

Denise,

He is bidding up a few bucks at time picking at q***i to see where that bid is. Even if you bid a high amount, Ebay won't let you raise your own bid if nobody is bidding against you. The only exception is if the seller has a reserve and the bidder hasn't hit it yet. You will see some leading bidders bid again later on in an auction. This is to raise their original maximum bid, in case someone bids a little higher later in the auction.

Then there is the whole sniper deal that automatically bids on your behalf with seconds to go. You enter a maximum bid into a sniper program, and it places it just as the auction is winding down. Some live bidder thinks they have it locked up, and with a few seconds to go a sniper computer program bids for someone and you have no chance to raise. Ebay is one of those places you need to know what you are bidding on, set a maximum bid, and let it ride. You just have to take the bidding emotion out of it. Traditional auction bidding strategy is all but gone.

So the seller has a reserve that is over $40 on a tool worth $4.99? Remind me not to let him sell me stock...

Actualy, the seller is out of the picture, at this point (assuming that q***i is NOT the seller- and ebay is pretty firm about this type of behavior). It is merely y***i & q***i fighting (bidding) it out.

Btw, I have a bunch of $5 items that I'd like to get these individuals (y***i, o***o & q***i)really interested in.
