Re: How we Ebay

218.102.23.27

The buyers' "weapons" on Ebay are flimsy namely, sniping, or backoff(not recommended) against sellers' weapons of shill bids, high reserved price, withdrawal plus add-on cost, non-shipping.So, don't try to fool yourself by saying that you're an experienced bidder and be able to buy something cheap with good confidence.

Irrespective what bidding strategy you can think of, Ebay is not a fair game to buyer(sorry, the rules are fixed) except on a few rare occasions, some sellers put the items on buy-it-now with lower prices. I don't know why and there should be no point to sell good stuff cheap, or are they so badly in need of money by a few days?

Maybe one out of 20 buy-it-now occasions, you can buy it cheap, seldom on bidding race. I bought a quad of metal base EL 34 at $100 and a quad GZ 32(British) at $50.
