I've had a whole bunch of great experiences selling and buying on eBay.
When I see something I really want, like Fumblin46, I put a maximum bid on it that I know no one else will go to ... and it works.
People will come in at the last minute and try to out bid you ... and I mean the LAST minute! I just bought a great Singer sewing machine last week (built in 1949 and totally restored - great for sewing leather; I'm starting my interior now) and someone came in 47 seconds before the auction was to close and bid above me; my max.bid kicked them out with $5 more ... then they came in again 17 seconds before the auction was to close and bid above me again; my max.bid kicked 'em out with $5 more again ... and then they came in again ONE SECOND!!! before the auction was to close and bid above me again!!! I couldn't believe it! If I didn't have a decent maximum bid, I never would have beat them out ... and this machine is one you will NOT see on eBay again.
It sure felt good to win! And even better when it arrived at my doorstep 4 days later!
eBay is great, man. Shop at home and get stuff you'd never be able to find otherwise.
