do any of you use a bidding service like esnipe? I normaly snipe bid at like the last 5 sec of a auction and do it myself but I am not always home and someone told me about esnipe. I haven't used it yet and was wondering if any of you used it.

Most everybody here is a "sniper" and some don't use "rifles" - they use really big "cannons." ;-)

I have never successfully won an auction! I know that sounds lame and yes I do snipe! I have bought most of my radios off other members and couldn't be happier about it!

HOWEVER, it would be nice to be able to see a radio I like and then bid on it and then win it. It hasn't happened yet!

How much are you bidding. :hmmm: Bidding $20 and under on ePay typically won't win you much if anything at all. :-P :lol:
Deals can be had on fleaBay but they are few and far between with all the competition. Typically your best bets are BIN's at low prices but you have be on ebay frequently to catch them, the other deals are typically items listed in the wrong categories with very poor subject lines so very few people will find them.

I typically set my bid napper to a certain price I won't / can't go over. Other just will pay more.

I have a friend that says he finds things miss labeled all the time. I need to look for stuff that way

This is true often but you have to get creative and put in the time to search daily, it can be fun and it can also drive you nuts burning up hours of your day. :w00t:

I snipe bid on everything i bid on. most of the time i win but every now and then i don't. if its something common i look at completed listings to get an idea of value. but if there are not any completed listings it makes it hard to find a value. If thats the case then I bid what it's worth to me.
