Blood for the Baron!

I had 4 figures ending in the space of 10 minutes the other night. I set up nice and early and the first one ( )- I died on due to system delay, picked up #2 ( ) over to #3 ( ) which died again, finally stettled back down and got the crank handle out for the golden prize ( ) and bagged it!

50% ratio at home - poor!

Damn, that sucks - hope you weren't too disappointed.

I suppose the seven second rule is only any good for a fast net connection.

what a nightmare Koth, i've been lucky enough not to have had any issues....yet.

my kill rate is pretty good too.

only missed 2 or 3 times in last 12 months.

same here. I also use justsnipe.com for when I am at work or the auction finishes in the early hours.

i don't wait til the last few seconds, i admit. i tend to bang the bid on with a couple minutes left to make sure i don't forget.

and i've become very pragmatically philospohical: if i win, i win. if i don't, i don't. there's bound to be another...

it's the twonks who bid early and only put on the minimum i can't get my head around, not that i'm complaining...

What is amusing to me anyway is about 20 mins ago there was a series 1 carded Sas figure on eBay I'm currenly using the iPhone as I can't be bothered to fire up the computer, with 1min to go I put my bid in and watched the countdown and waited for the snipe with 6 seconds left the snipe went in and I won anyway by 20 pence, if I was the sniper I'd be mad right now

No doubt someone will be shouting "BASTAAAAAARD" at the top of their voice somewhere on the planet! well done on another good win!

..admittedly I didn't use the 7 second rule. More like 5 seconds...

That'll teach me.

won one, lost one tonight...

both bids in at the 2 minute mark...

Got lost out on Shipwreck.

yes, I've caved into myself and got a list of 10 more Joes to get...
