impulse bidding on ebay?

Post by **Don Carlos** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 7:33 pm

sometimes i go on ebay and bid for summat i want but end up
looking for random things on there and bidding thinking i will never
win with a bid that low. Then next day comes and bob will be your
uncle and possibly fanny your aunt i have won. Anyone else get
like this on ebay? Hell, i just bid on an xbox because it was cheap!
Not because i really wanted/needed it, because it was cheap !!

Spose i can give it to the Mrs :icon30:

I hate people who bid on items when theirs about 7 days left, clearly they won't actually win most of the time

Damn right. Nothing I hate more than people UPing the price when there is 5 days left. If the morons would wait, they would get it for cheap. OMFG THERE IS ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT I HAVE TO BID OR I WONT WIN, OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!!!

and yes I impulse buy also. But it is kind of something I want, but dont really need. If its cheap and almost over, Ill bid for the hell of it. Actually just bid and won a new RC car the other day. WHY? Cause it was cheap $12.99 for a $100 car.

AAeBay impulsive bidder.
Yes I admit I am an eBay impulsive bidder.
I just recently been able to bid again, after a few (many) ways of reregistering again and
Bang! On the very first occasion, when they told me that I was ready to bid I blewed it again. Bid on an antique camera for 14$ but they charged me 28$ for S&H.
Now I am bidding on more serious items and it says that I can’t because I have a – feedback.
Shame on me.
And if you are a sniper, make sure you read the whole description before.
My bro bid on a super great JVC audio system only to know that it was only the advertisement page of it.
He paid for it not to get a – feedback 15$US.
