I've changed accounts and stuff but i've been on since 1997. All combined I have over 1000... the last name i used was at 800 something when i changed. I didn't really get heavy into Ebay until say 2002 bc Yahoo was still pretty good turn of the year 2000. I had over 500 on there.

He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots too.

This is funny to read about peoples bidding habits. I tried to snipe a couple different kyosho optimas, and both times the snipe failed, or I got outbid. Finally I got a turbo optima the old manual way. I can't wait for it to arrive.

On Items I am casually interested in I'll get into a "bidding war" with someone, going back and forth in $3-4 bids just to see how serious they are about winning. If it goes out of my range I let it go. I have won a couple without needing the snipe, maybe I scared off the other guy?

If it is something I absolutely have to have, there will only be 1 bid by me and the snipe is usually successful.
