So this is probably not the place but I have to vent. Got out bid in the last 10 sec!! 10 freaking seconds!, of am eBay auction for an efi live setup that I'm in desperate need of. Now I have to pay full price and I could have ordered it last week. Lesson learned. I'll be calling kb Monday morning I guess.

I think that's kinda the eBay way. I've only bid on a few things, and won a few. But to win it seems like you need to be ready to raise your bid in the last few seconds or someone else will probably get the item.

Didn't you guys know about automated ebay bidding? It is what is doing the last second bids, usually.

Well I kinda figured it was the guy selling it.. just to **** me off. Ive been trying to buy it from him for 2 weeks.. for his asking price none the less, and he refuses to sell it outright. I latterly watched it and at the last second it changed. I would not doubt it was automated somehow.

I got lucky last week when I won a set of ls1 efans for $59.99. I put my bid in a few days before the end of the auction and ended up winning. I was the only bidder. Couldn't believe it.

I was bidding on Marshall JVM 410H amp heads. They always went higher than I wanted to pay in the last few seconds of the auction. It took several auctions before I finally won one.
