<p>[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 2742335, member: 78298"]You will always lose 100% of the time, if the max bid on the sniping program is higher than yours. (Getting back to the OP Bid Piracy)</p><p>I have noticed there are off peak times, when interest is low. And if something on your watch list has zero bids, by putting in your bid late, you are likely to win, and get it at a bargain price. Anything that has a number of bidders competing, you are never going to win at a fair price. (Which is fine, you don't want to be in a bidding frenzy and overpay.) I've gotten some things at a very good price, some things at a fair price and a couple of things I have over paid. All part of the game I guess. </p><p>I have stopped using EBay because the last item I bought, the seller used deceptive photos. I'm not going to bother returning a 9 dollar item. Caveat emptor. I just don't like being taken advantage of. I never would have bid on this item had I seen the actual photos and not the deceptive photos which made the note look much less worn and creased than the reality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
