eBay tactics
    #14393165 - 05/03/11 07:12 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

i have been living on eBay lately looking at vintage dolls and dolls for doner parts. it was always my tactic to bid on items at the last second to try to win them but lately its not working and i lost out on 2 really nice vintage 1960's barbies for real cheap. i have my eyes on a few Bild Lilli german Barbie clones i would really like to win. how do you normally win eBay auctions? do you have any hints or strategies you would like to share with me? no worries its ok i promise i wont use them against you... as long as your not buying barbie's :wink:

you gotta learn the very second you can bid where no one can bid higher than you... Since computer speeds vary, keep track how long it takes for you to make a bid. For me, I make sure my last bid is in at around 10 seconds. Another thing I do is bid a 'little' higher than you normally want.... So say someones bid is at 16 dollars, there is a chance that bidder put their highest bid at 20 dollars... So instead of bidding 20 yourse, bid something like $22.50

I have won many awesome things on ebay and ALMOST won just as many!!!!

just bid at the last second like usual, only now you need to know what your "max" price your willing to pay for it and put that in.  There's 2 many people on ebay now, u just have to figuer out what your willing to pay

I would always bid something like $12.51, $26.51, etc. Or you could go with .56 or something like that. A lot of other people just bid whole numbers or at the .50 cent mark.

ok im going to give odd numbers a shot :thumbup:

dammit it has a bid now.. someone else is interested.. mite have to pick up my BF near when it ends, looks like he mite have to wait hehe.

whats the point of bidding early? like some people bid 5 days before its over.. i dont see a point unless they are bidding super high to guarantee a win, but seems like they are also guaranteeing jacking the price up when it could be un-necessary..

Auction Sentry :thumbup: Works great for me :awesomenod:

combine that with bidding at like 67 cents more than you normally do and sniping with just a couple seconds left works wonders, it even has profit tracking built in although I'm not sure how to use all that yet.

Bid lower, but bid on everything.
And look for people that don't know what they have or don't know how to describe it.
I'll find auctions sometimes that say "I don't know what this is..." and it's perfectly obvious what it is.

For buying. You might be the only bidder.

There are "sniping" software that can automatically bid at the last second for you.

Really though, since you're making the effort to bid at the last second, it's all about price.  You just gotta learn what the market is.  My guess is that with vintage dolls, you are bidding against a seasoned crowd that knows wtf they're doing.  Bid higher

I bid very early. And just bid the max I'm willing to pay (or close to it). If its something I really want, I don't see a point in waitin till the last minute.
