Alright, hope I'm not outing somebody waiting to snipe this auction but I am pissed. I just got outbid on the auction below and thought I really had it priced right considering the cue and knowing the actual retail.

I have been looking around for a Sneaky Pete and maybe another Jensen, and voila.....the first Jensen on eBay in months and it is one his sneaky petes.

These are pretty rare now as Mike focuses on the more high end cues he does (check out the Jensen on cornerstones website....mui macho!)

Anyways just got outbid and needed to vent. Here is the link if anyone is interested:

:mad:
 
why??

why would you bid it up with 4 days left?? wait, then bid at last minute but put in what your willing to spend.
 
Thought about that, but wanted to keep bidders away by having a bid that was near the high end value of the cue.

Just buy one off of Mike Johnson. I know you get one for I think under $300.

I do snipes all the time, I get outbid a lot because other people "want" it more than I do, or they are willing to spend more on it than I am/can.

If that was the most you were willing to pay, then no reason to get mad. If you would have payed more and didn't bid that amount.........too late....:) :)

IMO, bidding on an item you want (unless your'e willing to spend alot) before 5 or 6 seconds before the auction ends is a fruitless exercise and "as someone else has stated" merely runs up the price. Figure out what the cue is worth to you and bid accordingly.....but, wait (if you can) until the last few minutes/seconds of the auction ending -- just my 3 cents ;)

Not enough moolah in that market. I'm trying to sweet talk him by email. Hope it works! :o
