Ygerna Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Some of you may have read that I confessed to DH, by email, that I am bidding on an eglu on ebay. I wasn't expecting a particularly supportive response. However All he asked was if they were going in the Garden or down the Allotment, so, I said Garden and he said, 'yeah, thats better, the eglu is too expensive to leave down there' I was completely taken aback. So, I took this as a positive sign and said that if I didnt win this one, I would wait until after Christmas so that I would have more money to be able to get one then. Please, everyone keep your fingers crossed for me and my bid. I am suffering with bidder stress already and there is still a few days to go before it ends.

..lay a little egg for me Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Do you use bidnapper or similar? I find it the least stressful way of bidding on the expensive items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygerna Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Do you use bidnapper or similar? I find it the least stressful way of bidding on the expensive items. My DH does, and I usually ask him to bid on things when I want to use it. But because I was doing this secretly I couldn't ask him to set it up. My big fear is that no one wil bid on it and then someone will use a snipe or bidnapper and beat me. If it goes over my budget I guess it doesnt matter when they bid, it would just be hugely disappointing. I have over two days to wait, anyone got any idea how to stop myself from refreshing my ebay page every 20 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I use Auction Sniper & I can honestly say that since using it I have rarely if ever lost out on a win. I can send you a link if you pm me. It keeps the price down too - fewer people bidding against you......& there is nothing like the buzz you get from seeing your bid placed in the last couple of seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Good luck . I use the old fashioned "wait till 13 seconds remain" method. It usually works but I sometimes worry that I'll conk out 'cos my heart thumps like I've had a huge shock . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
