Well, knowing your history, I'm not even gonna try to outbid you cause i will fail! I have the tape already, as does Phil (sknowbird) who told me about the auction. So he and I would be bidding on the album insert basically lol. Not sure it's worth it for us. Good luck. I'm eager to see how it plays out!

If I had it, I would never sell it. Unless I had to buy bread for my child with that money. It's priceless!

Weird. Looks like I ended up being the only person to bid on it. Went for only $50.00 (the reserve price). I definitely thought it would've sold for more.

I like seeing how you raised your nbids strategically. lol. Yea, that's weird. I guess hardcore Kevin fans don't look on eBay for stuff cause it so rarely appears. But I figured maybe a DT collector would go for it.

Actually, the only reason I kept adding higher bids was because of the reserve price. I was trying to get an idea of what it was set at and was hoping to meet the reserve early. I almost always use sniping as my main bidding method, but if there's something like this that I really want, and there are no other bids on it, I usually try to put in a low bid early, because once there's a bid on it, the seller can't cancel the auction anymore. But when there's a reserve price, that only applies if the reserve has been met. (There have been a few times where I was watching something without any bids, and then the seller decided to end the auction early, I guess because somebody made them an offer outside of ebay)

Yea, there's definitely strategy to eBay bidding. Sounds you got it down. Typically, I make sure I'm at the computer two minutes before the item expires and I put it a crazy bid like $500. Then whoever is bidding against me keeps trying to raise their offer like a few dollars at a time, but the auction expires before they get anywhere close and I win. That could come back to bite me one day I could end up paying close to $500, but that never happened.

That could come back to bite me one day I could end up paying close to $500, but that never happened. Much easier than trying to remember to be at the computer at the end of the auction. You just put in the item number and your max bid amount, and this will automatically put your bid in 8 seconds before the auction is over. And its totally free (for up to five "snipes" per week). I've been using it for years. |
