baz.......
i like your comment about "which i will win", about the brochure,what i have found is if you really want something,then bid in the final few seconds,at least that way you stand a chance,yes it annoys the hell out of me when it happens to me  ...
but then i think of all the other people i have done it too

The trouble with ebay is that if YOU want something that bad YOU don't care who else is bidding for it do you ?.
After all it would not be an auction if no one bids for it would it ?.

I've got to agree.
I think the phrase is, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."
Says me... still yet to win anything on e-bay

Never bid til the very last second, that way you wont push up the price. When you do bid, place the bid for the max you are prepared to pay.. Sometimes however there is just no way you are going to win. I have seen items go for far more than the normal retail value when people get carried away. I once soled a printer for £45 without any ink cartridges which cost £25 on there own. the printer could be bought compleate with ink for £39 from argos at the time.

Some of you may know that the Club Collectibles is sourced pretty much from eBay anything Granada or Scorpio related is watched for by myself and a fellow enthusiast sold through the GSO to fund our server.
We have seen over the past 6 months a massive increase in being outbid right at the end. I have found out that there are some 3rd patry software devices that will bid for you right at the very end. One of them is called e-snipe. I think it controvenes eBays rules and I am also not sure about how safe they are (i.e. they may contain trojans that install on your PC as well as the eBay sniper).
We are not allowed to link to eBay on our site as we got in hot water a couple of years back (another story) but it would be an idea to know who is who..
My eBay name is elmo_putney99 and I have 685 positive eBay feedback points 
If a stock item is needed then I will bid to replace it trying to work some profit it. What we dont do is bid till the death.

I was swearing about you last night, I kept getting out bid for the Scorpio Handbook, Sorry if I pushed the price a bit high. Next time I may just check on here before bidding on Scorpio related bits.
