Ender098 and ebay
 

You should try a higher bid. I know you can beat this guy. LOL!

'And coming up next on our tour folks.....if you look to the right of the tram you will have a front row seat to a 'good old fashioned pi$$ing contest'!!! Get those cameras ready!!!!!!'


:p :) ;) :D :rolleyes: :cool: :eek:

naw, outbidding him would defeat the whole purpose of trying to find cheap army builders. besides, im sure hes willing to pay more then i, i think he said he has over 1000 figures, i only have a lil over 200. as much as i love my joes and as much as i want a decent army, i have to watch where i spend my money.
and scarlett plz, your the only girl here but ive yet to see a guy who post vulgar comments like you do,lol.

Auctions aren't about who wants it more... they're about who's willing to pay the most. My suggestion: Find a less popular figure that strikes your fancy, that way you won't have to make a fool of yourself on the forum when people outbid you. That's what I do! :D

Well, I when I bidded on the auctions I didn't want to win all of them. Funny. I had bids on 10 of the same figure in some cases, only to find out I was outbid on some (for like $6.00) and others weren't even bid on at all. I was hoping to get one or two someone overlooked. It's like fighting a communist Army...shoot into the wave attacks and hope you get lucky!

Ugh, I have bought WAY too much stuff off ebay in the last couple weeks... :(

I had an old bank acount that I'd left a few hundred bucks in just in case any of my bills were still being drafted from it and I'd forgotten... well, it went several months without dropping, so I decided I might as well use it as my Joe fund.

A week later, four months of electric bills suddenly got pulled out of it, leaving the balance negative.

So I dumped more cash in it... and now my Joe fund is back. :D

And I wasn't talking bad, or at least if I was, I didn't mean to! EBay serves a purpose. It's just that people on there for the most part don't care about collecting, thye just want to see how much they can eek out of a figure or playset. And some buyers will even not list what they want for shipping until the auction is over so that if they don't make a profit, they can inflate the shipping and still make a killing.

I'm an old salt at ebay (over 1,200 purchases) so I know what to look for. It can be great, or it can be a rip off. I meant to sound cautionary, not discouraging! BTW, what is your ID on ebay? If I see it, I'll avoid trying to outbid you!

A friend of mine wouldn't tell me his ID and I accidentally outbid him on some V7 Vipers! Boy was he pissed, but had I known it was him I was bidding against, I would have let him won......

The only thing I'll try to outbid you on, no holds barred is a PDD or a dino hunters set. I have everything else I want in my collection! ;)
