Blood for the Baron!

depends on the buyer. i mean this MISB one started at 99p the bidding was at £1.54 or something when i first bid and i outbid that to £5.54 so, that first bidder top bid about £5!

checking the bid history it was bidder 5 got you and he only upped his bid when you dropped £20.
seriously, have a maximum in mind and go in on the last 15 seconds. you might not win but when you do you may save yourself a couple of quid.
i used to get into bidding wars with people(this was when you could see bidders id) and spent stupid amounts of money on things that the next week went for a fraction of what i paid. have patience. you also get a great feeling when you win an item in the last couple of seconds knowing that the other bidder thinks hes won-insert super-villan style laughter.

yeah, i know. i did it meself with a couple of things. i was just so excited to see one and so cheap, i stupidly slapped a bid on without thinking.

had you waited until tomorrow and bid in the last few seconds you may well have won it for £25.
the Baron did a guide to sniping somewhere you should check out.
Bill

you sound like quite the expert now bill, the baron taught you well!!!!!!

nah mate i've been sniping for years after getting my fingers burnt on a batman animated alfred figure.
cant remember what i paid but i had to win him. the sale was in the states and the postage was pretty high too.
i won him but had pushed the price way up.
the next week 1 went on ebayuk for £4 with only 1 bidder. i had a sick taste in my mouth for days and learned an expensive lesson.

you'll probably find 1 cheaper on ebay.com.
sh*tty exchange rate at the minute tho.
Bill

just watch the item in future and set a reminder when the auction ends and bid at the last minute,
i never bid my maximum untill the end of the auction as there is allways another predator lurking to go for the kill on the item you want...

Did I hear somebody say Steel Brigade?

i'll pay you £10 for one!

Sorry, but I really really need to have over 50...

over FIFTY?!?! GAAAAH!!!!!

£15?
