You really can't imagine how STUPID people on ebay can be...

I was bidding the other day for an A2000. I saw the listing and it had 9 days!!! I saw the bids: 20 bids!!!! in 9 days to go!!!!

These are not bidders. These are a shame to humanity  :lol:

@ Effy

Hi Effy,

I am not talking about people who bid 10 hours or 5 hours earlier. I am talking to people who bid 10 DAYS earlier!!!

What are the odds of winning the item by bidding 10 DAYS earlier? 1/1.000.000 ?????

It like the lottery!!!!

Hi orange

I dont know what a snipper is, but if you are talking about the people who bid the final minute in order to get a lower price... well... thats bidding!!!!  :-D

If somebody wants to sell something high piced, all he has to do is put a reserve on ebay. If he doesnt want to sell in low prices then ebay is NOT for him.

That is why it is called an auction. You bid what you have not what he asks or what he would want to get!

oh well... to much for that lets go in another topic  :-P

Aha!

Ok, I learned something new today. What a snipper is  :-P

Yea, I agree. It can be veeery annoying challenging a program during bidding  :pissed:

Can I move to another topic now?  :-D  :-D  :-D

sorry to be a language nazi, but the noun is 'sniper' and the verb is 'to snipe'

a 'snipper' would be someone who 'snips'. 'To snip' is a bit like 'to cut'


HAHAHAHA

Man, until now i had no clue what a "sniper" is.
How do you expect me to spell it correctly? :-P

AND my english is way better than: I spoke england the very best (as a friend of mine once said...)  :lol:
