I always look at usernames on ebay and think 'which one of you buggers is that then...!' :x :)

I was outbid on a white passenger side wing by a certain person on here.....wouldn't have minded but i gave him some help in the forum here the day before the auction ended :fist:

[gaz the geezer 0]

it`s something that has crossed my mind so many times :) then perhaps that aint such a bad thing not knowing, it would be easy to get upset by `friend` on the forum who outbid yourself on a must have item, just like mr Valerian, there

hello ZippyVR6, i hear what you are saying but i dont think it`s a matter of honesty but whether or not you are prepared to go as far as the next man to obtain `that` something, thats what auctions are

[g60greeny 0]

plus it draws attention to the bargin your hopin to get

[ZippyVR6 0]

This is true but the I was thinking that If you are wanting something but it is not urgent and you are aware someone else is after the same thing then why waste yours or someone elses cash by bidding after it.

 

I get the whole auction thing and there are usually a few people after the same Rado items on the bay so it is probably just a dribbling hungover idea.

i can see where ya comin from,it does feel like ya gettin bid up on stuff what u expected to half the price,even worse when its someone on here

good point :thumbleft:

it would be great in an ideal world, which then leads back to your original post :lol: i`d like to think i would be a `gentleman` in these situations but if i really needed it i might just go for it :oops:

[timg60 0]

Kinda what I though.

i typed in what I was willing to pay then left e bay to it.

Probably means that the person who won it paid more than they would have liked to as well. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

But what can you do.

[g60greeny 0]

thats what i try an do,set a highest bid an leave it,but it winds me up when i lose summat by a quid :mad:

[timg60 0]

I didnt recognise the user name as someone on here. So maybe it wasnt. Have just tried to change mine to match the one on here but some bugger already has it. :mad:

Would be good if we could be all gentleman like and pm the other person if they were on here to see how bad they really needed the part / bit.

I guess the person today might really need it where as I just wanted it to get it ported a bit.So in an ideal world I could of just dropped him/her a pm and saved them a couple of Quid

[Guest]

indeed tim, seems stupid to push the price up between us

[billinjah 0]

i must admit if i see someone off the forum is bidding before me ill leave it, but i always use bidnapper so not always possible as i forget what ive put bids on!

[Yandards 0]

Yandards everywhere for me as its never taken :D

 

Don't think I've got into a bid off with other forum members, although it does seem more than counterproductive.
