damn lost this 350x

[Wild250R]

Thats where the real buzz comes from,- It's 3.15am,you've been up all night just so you don't over sleep and miss the damned auction closing, less than one minute to go, your hearts pounding, sweating, bricking it, the bids are coming in thick and fast, moneys piling up and it's gone a bit higher than you anticipated, you realise though this is the one and only opportunity to own an 86 250R in original stock condition, you can justify any cost, your just waiting for that perfect moment to go to the "place bid" page, you can't seen the auction page!, submitting the bid, "YOU ARE CURRENTLY THE HIGHEST BIDDER".YES!!!! but for how long? Back to the updated auction page, can't instantly refresh page , have to resend page, 3 seconds till auction closes, refresh/resend information,..........CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE WON THE ITEM! Cue wave of euphoria, you just brought a piece of history!!!!!!!!! Winning a beuty feels almost as good as riding one!
I missed out on loads of wins just from either not being there at close or bidding to soon and not enough. If you want it bad enough wait as long as you dare, usually less than one minute and then put in an insane bid. You won't pay that amount, but it will be that late in the auction that anyone else bidding won't have time to bid again, either reasonably or do the same and put a monsterous auction winning bid in, like you did! this is how I won a 250R from Pennsylvania recently, don't know if anyone saw it, check out:- user ID jakko2630 on ebay to seen this and other bikes aquired. This way you can even potentially beat these auction snipe programs, unless they also put in monsterously high bid, but then, if they do win at least they have to pay the monsterously high price! sweet revenge for a lost love! It takes balls but if you want it bad enough.... Its worth it. Happy Bidding!

Everyone should read WILD250R's post.
THAT is the "Ebay experience" to a tee!

If you want it bad enough.......

It's a bummer when the auctions end at such goofy times, though.
That's a primo reason for SNIPING.
23 month old daughter and a demanding job make those 3AM banzai auctions a thing of the past for me.

Thanks for the story, WILD250R!!
