I just got this email this morning
Do you happen to remember Leroy showing you a turquoise transistor radio? It was a GOOD seller on ebay.
We started it out at $9.99 and almost immediately it went up to $111.00. then it stayed at $247 for 5 days and right at the end it went for $913.11
Yes only the inexperienced would bid before the closing minutes or hour of an auction. The auction snipe really only does the same thing ebay does, bids for you up to your preset limit. Only difference is people don't have time to repond. In either case you never really "lose" an auction if you bid the maximum you would have paid for an item.
I have lost Auction Snipe auctions when I was the high bidder, but my bid was not a whole bid increment. Like I bid 21.56 and someone won it for 21.50 on a regular bid so my snipe was no good, not a .50 bid increment. And you do not get an outbid notice either. A flaw in their system in my opinion.

re: end of ebay auction
Apparently I am the fool and idiot for insulting one of the members, with my humble apologies, sir.
I have often bid against this one person on ebay named Imalooker,who has my ire up against that type I guess.
Unlikely you will bid on my stuff for these trucks, I usually sell 61-66 stuff.
And with that, I will shut up and go back to my once a month lurking.
Quietly.

Private messaging is good for that.
And don't feel you need to lurk. We all benefit by the participation of all the members.
We are glad to have both of you here.
