Ebay: Ever bid just to bid?

Post by subawhatsubawho »

Anyone have any fun ebay things they like to do?

I like to bid medium amounts of money on mansions and hot exotic sports cars.

It intimidates others that are bidding against me on the 92 legacy. They see what I have bid on and they think I bid a fortune so they back off.

I've been known to ask people what their reserve is and then bid a single dollar less then what they tell me.

For the sake of all that is good...just make your starting bid the lowest you will take for your shit! Don't toy with people by putting a reserve on it! I don't care how low your reserve is! I won't buy from you!

I'm such a prick!!!

Same as lctwolf.

I've bid on a few 05 Legacies/Outbacks, and bid like $500, the max I could afford. I know the reserve is higher than that, so I don't have to worry about it.

The only thing that sucks is that now eBay will send you all kinds of emails after you don't win the auction to try to find a 'similar item'...

Ever bid on something and then get unbid..then you want to write the jackass who outbid you and make death threats.

I wonder if ebay ever got anyone killed?
