Do people really have two accounts on ebay to push up the bids on their stuff for sale? I'm beginning to wonder.
As far as I'm aware, all of the auctions on eBay are timed, the highest bid at the last second wins, so it's usually best to just bid once to get you in the auction, then bid again in the closing seconds of the auction. The problem is, you can buy software to do this, so sometimes you're trying to beat a computer program to be last.Made one bid. Item sold after only two bids. Second chance offered. Get out of town.
Yeah, this, IMHO...may indicate funny bizness, if the second chance offer exceeded Colin's initial bid.Made one bid. Item sold after only two bids. Second chance offered. Get out of town.
I think you should get a medal for just taking part.Winning an auction seems to be a strange way of looking at things imo
I digressed a bit, but initially I was referring to his comment about the auction ending after only two bids, they're timed, so I was just pointing out that the number of bids is irrelevant.I don't think that is exactly what @Colin the Bear is referring to, however.
North of the border it is, "Gonny get", "Gonny no get"Also, it does sound wrong to use "win" and "lose", but that's the terminology
