Bidding for a car on Ebay

I'd only stay up if I really really really wanted something, and usually a check earlier will show if it is getting too dear. tbh, I'd just set an alarm for 10 minutes before anyway.

Sometimes I forget, and that saves me money, as sometimes I might be watching say a left handed screwdriver, that I don't actually need, but quite fancy owning

You have to give the sniper full access to your account, which is why I don't use them. (You never get something for nothing, and these snipers are always a third party site- it wouldn't be difficult to have software to do it entirely from your computer, so why are they all external websites???)

Now that is a new one, a left handed screwdriver !!!

Back in the day, maybe 10 years ago when ebay was new & I was an ebay maniac, I would get into bidding wars, bidding in last seconds, having 2 or more web pages ready with bids to fire in, all by hand, none of this automated snipe bidding !

Yep I've been using eBay for prob about 15 years and I have always done my bids manually, never used last minute bidding software.

These days I usually just set my max bid then forget about it until I get a notification that I have won or not.

It is a Hyundai Coupe 06 plate. I have some doubts it's right for me at this late stage but will go ahead as I said I would if they put on a year's MoT.

I drove it home on Saturday. Took a little while to get the driving position right and some more 'bonding' time but I officially love my Coupe. :cool:

Hyundai's are great cars; glad it worked out for you.
