Have I missed something? I have just bid for, and won, an Eclipse magnetic base for £3.40. About an hour later a similar one, albeit rather cleaner, sold for £23. Why on earth are the prices so different? I'm not complaining, the one that I have won looks entirely useable. This is the second that I have won on Ebay for a similar price yet many seem to sell for high prices. |

not unusual ....its the way it is.... the power of the internet. i have made a living off Ebay since 1997... i have been in the auction game since 1989. The buyer is responsible for the market. The key to a good auction buying experience is knowledge of your particular interest and current market prices. Patients helps as well. This gives you a advantage. Enjoy your near free purchase.

If an auction runs for 7 days there's little point in placing a bid on day 1 for someone to outbid you an hour later. It's not like an auction at your local auction house which is over and done with in seconds. I always wait until the last moment before placing my one and only bid. Phil. |
| NormanV:
Yes Phil, that's exactly what I do. I decide what I'm prepared to pay and make my bid as late as possible. If I'm outbid there is no time for me to bid again. |
