[QUOTE="williamtipton, post: 7849, member: 815"]exactly........sniping sometimes allows for a better price......and honestly I have had a seller or two that I have told outright that they did not have to honor the auction as I felt the price had been too low...... And I have also sent more money than the aution has ended for at times when they insisted on selling to me anyway.... Im not trying to rip anyone off, its just that the folks buying there get very carried away sometimes.... I was bidding on an old Nintendo game one time......the original nintendo........the game was one i could buy for $9.99 at Kmart at that point IF you wanted to travel all over town lookin thru the bins for it... Well, I put a $10 bid on it and waited...........towards the end some guy ended up bidding it up to $35........ Now I didnt try to win it, cuase Ill just go look thru the bins myself if i have to, and kudos to boywonder who paid 4 times what it was worth....... But the thing that really got me to understand was after the auction the kid sends me a message telling me what a great time he had with that auction and wanted to know what else i was bidding on so we could do it again.................sorry, but what a moron........why not just pay $100 for the game since we're giving our money away..... I think that was when i decided no more bidding, sniping only.......if i get it fine, if i dont thats fine too.........i can wait till next time[/QUOTE]
