and their bidding system? Just lost out on a Joss model 18 that I was the only bidder on.Guy entered a bid wiithing the last 25 seconds.I entered a new bid,became highest bidder again.he entered new bid.I lost before I could confirm my next bid.Pretty much the exact look and model old school Joss I've been looking for,with 2 shafts.Screw you,guy who won :angry: :banghead: we need the ripping hair out smiley.

use www.auctionsniper.com. Well worth it.
That sucks! Hope you see another one.
What I like about using auctionsniper is you set your max bid and walk away. It keeps you from getting into a bidding war for days and escalating the price upwards. And you don't need to be in front of your computer in the last seconds of bidding to put the smack down.
. I got so tired of dealing with them...now a days I simply bid the absolute most I will pay and walk away. If I lose it by a dollar, than so be it. Sometimes it just isn't worth the stress....It's been a while since I've bought anything from ebay, but isn't that how ebay works? You put in your max bid and it submits a high bid only large enough to lead/win the auction. If someone outbids your shown high bid it automatically increases you until your max bid is placed....then someone can out bid you.
Yeah but you will have the temptation to bid just a little more when you get outbid a day or two before it closes. With a snipe, it all happens in the seconds before the bell.
MyIBay is probably one of the best Snipers.
You don't have to be anywhere near a computer when the auction ends.
Set your highest bid and your time and it will bid for you right to the end.
Of course, if you are up against another Sniper, you throw caution to the wind.

You are always throwing caution into the wind on an auction. Just place your highest bid and it will auto outbid for you anyways.
Sorry to hear this deal didn't work out for you. Learn from this lesson and keep at it. If you really know how much this model is worth to you, stick to your guns and keep trying. If you are looking for a super bargain on a cue in great condition, there is a reasonable likelihood that others will be interested in it, too.
Seven years ago, on eBay, I outbid somone for a cue by $1. I had been looking to buy a cue from that maker for 20 years. It was worth the wait.
If there is a particular model cue that you want, on AZB you can start a WTB thread in the W/FS forum. You can't do that on eBay.

No, i don't hate ebay.
I hate it when someone gets out bid at an auction & complains about it.
Put in your max bid & let it go, a sniper can only out bid you if he is willing to pay more than you are.
Hope you find the cue you are looking for, and get it for a good price.

Over the years I've been using it, I average 20-25% savings on my max bids. One plus is you can cancel your bid at anytime without getting involved with Ebay
