im new with Ebay, should I bid up to 1000 and call it a day? so thats 1105 or try and save and wait til the auction ends but taking the risk of getting outbid. my max bid is already 920.00 what should i do? thanks guys. i mean is it that great of a deal?

 

i'd do BIN at 1000....its already at 910 with 22 hrs left

 

omg, buy it now definately, it will go up way past that with 12 hrs left

 

Currently, the reserve is not met. If you already "maxxed" what your comfortable bidding, then let it go!

Here's how I win EVER auction that I win: wait until there is about 1 minute to go. Enter your HIGHEST comforatable bid, but don't submit it until there is 5-7 seconds left in the auction (you can follow how much time is left by opening another window and refreshing the page). when your submit your bid, there is not enough time for someone to outbid you. If you are the highest bidder, you win. If you're not the highest bidder, then the item will have sold for MORE than your highest comfortable bid.

This method keeps other peeps from driving up the final bid price while trying to outbid you over time. If other's who are interested in the auction see no action, they get comfortable with the idea that they're gonna geat the item for a great price. However, this is where you come in and "snatch: it from them with 5 seconds left.



EDIT: Someone above mentioned a "Buy It Now" price. This wasn't available when I wrote this post.

I won my Rolex by waiting until the end of the aution to bid, rather than use the "Buy It Now" option. I saved $100, but I also risked loosing the watch!

 

What do you want the wheels for, they won't fit on the CL.

 

has anyone noticed the lug pattern...4x100.....that wont fit the CL

 

ya man i saw that...i just didn't wanna say anything cuz i wasn't sure if it was 4x100 did/didn't fit our cl..

 

He corrected the auction by stating the the pattern is 4 x 114 (look right above his pic). I assume this means 4 x 114.3

 

shoulda done 1000 bin

 

Feedback rating 93.1%....that would make me uncomfortable buying from him.

 

Make sure you check feedback on the seller, esp. if you're spending real dough. If they've only sold a few items, then it should be 100%. If they're a power seller, then you can expect a few problems every 500 or so sales. I never bid on items if the seller has less than 95%. Watch out for brand new sellers, too. I got burned by some bitch once. Fortunately is was only $5. I hoped she enjoyed all the porn spam I signed her up for.
