Default People that bid on ebay

Are idiots because when they first see something that has like a 7 day wait, they bid the first couple of days and so does everyone else and the price goes way up. Then their are the smart people who bid at the last couple of minutes who wait and see where the auction lies then bid. I don't like early bidders.

werd ... early bidders suck ... it's all about waiting till the clock reaches under 45 seconds to start bidding. also, keeping multiple windows up is a good idea.

When I sell stuff, I love early bidders.

I make more money that way.

:werd: just like people that go to real auctions. I go to a car auction, and there is a car I'm interested in, so he's like:

"ok, i'll start the bidding at 5000"
nobody bids
"4500, anybody 4500?"
"4000"
"3500"
and then some tool bids.

SHUT your fuken mouth and he will go lower you dumb shit.

People have yet to understand how a proxy system works, If I bid first and place the bid amount in the max IM willing to pay for an item.
As a seller I love snipers you bid at the last minute because they get so caught up in the bidding they pay above what an item will sell for in the street. Just something about winning gets them all moist in the last seconds
