Remember to bid !

shinobi · Aug 19, 2013

I was watching a Proflex 755 frame on Ebay , looked ok condition , no elastomers but the sugino crank still on it. it was a few miles up the road from me and with about 15 mins to go it had 1 opening bid ! anyway as you can guess i forgot to bid and it sold for 99 p !!!
Thats a lesson learned :roll:

This is why I always decide in advance the maximum I am willing to pay and place a bid a day or so before the auction ends.

That sucks Paul, I've done that but not on anything too important luckily!

And I always bid last minute so as not to risk pushing the price up or falling victim to shilling - but that is the risk of it. I think you can download a programme to snipe bid for you so you don't have to remember.

I recommend gixen.com for sniping - I use it all the time and it's never let me down.
