Last minute bidders are worse.Tried to buy sterling voids its alright 12" version the other week and some one must have been using the old last minute .com biddings thingy megig and seemed to have put a bid on in the last 5 seconds.I put a bid on in the last minutes and watch it go down at 8 o`clock in the morning,kept refreshing till it closed the next thing he`d won lol i don`t believe it(in a victor meldrew voice)

Cheers digthemusic
they just bid up to your total amount...
if you'll pay £20 for something that's at £10, they'll bid 10.50 then 11.00 until your in the lead.
it works just the same way as ebay but puts the bid in at the last second, which keeps the price down.
With both ebay and any auction sniper thing you have to put in the most your willing to pay. simple. if you put the most you're willing to pay in ebay then you won't be beaten by a last minute snipe unless they're willing to pay more than you.
people can't moan if they up a bid from £5 to £5.10 and then get beat at £5.20.
this is the reason why sniping is so succesfull...an item opens at £3...then someone puts a bid on it for just £3...then mr sniper comes along in the last second and gets it for £3.10..the first guys moaning saying he'd have paid more than that but the thing is he didn't put his maximum in. if he'd of put £5 in at the start he'd of won it for £3.20..don't just up it by the minimum..put your maximum in.

yeah i lost out to
a last minute today
wood allen airport 89 beat by 10p
then i go in the disc
to add insult to injury wacked it on and remembered why i was bidding on it
cos dj hype used it as his (high frequency) 'scratch' record
to add insult to injury again
i spent £20 on 4 records
when dale had just bought a 22k collection for less than a penny a record
ps. nathan ain't your corina got the acca on, must be rare

yeah whatya you're right
I think i did a good sell by saying "create your own bootleg with the accapella" lol. The funniest thing is the record cost me 20p. Whatya I have a wicked copy of wood allen with a picture cover with airplane and shit. and all those scratch samples etc. troub is mate has sentimental value for me and i'm not just saying that to wind you up. Was my fave tune in 89 love the break in it. Will look out for a copy of it. How much did the one on ebay go for?

£3.20 so it wasn't the end of the world
but to buy a big bundle of tunes at
0.9 of a penny and then sell for £8 was asking too much for me
i like a bargain........ (in a lynx add style song)
my best 20p purchase (but i already had a few copies)
sold for about £50 on ebay
also renaissance disc 2 only 50 pence sold for £45
