I prefer the Buy Now price if there is one. Sometimes if I am bidding on something and it gets right to the last 1 minute I keep hitting the refresh button every couple of seconds and then put in a quick last bid to see if I won.]]> Tue, 13 Mar 2007 16:05:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6112&PID=118451&title=trademe#118451 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6112&PID=118441&title=trademe#118441 Author: miss

I use auto bid a lot too, when I really want something. I find that some things I win with it, and some things my auto bid is pushed to the max and the other person outbids me by 50 cents - grrr. But swings and roundabouts, i still get the bargains I want!]]> Tue, 13 Mar 2007 15:55:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6112&PID=118441&title=trademe#118441 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6112&PID=118392&title=trademe#118392 Author: busymum

Ahhh well I'm with you on that Janine. I got out-bid that way just last week though. I had set the auction to "email me when outbid" but no email came and I forgot (10.15pm that's why!) and someone bet my bid by $1 at 10 mins before closing time. Sneaky, and good for them, but I wish I hadn't forgotten!]]> Tue, 13 Mar 2007 13:47:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6112&PID=118392&title=trademe#118392 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6112&PID=118334&title=trademe#118334 Author: jack_&_charli

Busymum, i tend to bid at the last minute so that i am not bidding bidding bidding all week and pushing the prices up.. you have people that really want things, why pay heaps for them cos they bid the whole week thinking that no-one else will bid for the next 4 days (lolol, come on), if you bid now, others will know you want it and be more determined to beat you. I bid at the last minute on the off chance that they will either have forgotten to watch the auction so i can sneakily win it, or that they think no-one else wants it, or that maybe they think they have won so pop away for a minute or so.. and again, i win. lol so yes i am a bit of a trade-me cow, but hey, i get good prices, if i see the prices going up then i flag it and don't even bother but will still leave it on the watchlist so i can see what ridiculous price it went for.. If a bidding war starts from my last minute bid, there's a clear point i will go to, ie if someone bids back I will bid again but will set an auto-bid up to my set amount, if they are pig-headed enough to keep bidding to try beat it, then so be it. lol.. i definately don't just keep extending it that does suck and gets annoying.

Ok so now you know my secret...

Glad you got what you wanted.

I set myself a budget before I even bid on it. And I have stuck to it except once. Went over by 50c and at least got it. ]]> Sun, 11 Mar 2007 14:27:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6112&PID=117811&title=trademe#117811 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6112&PID=117797&title=trademe#117797 Author: caraMel

argh, i know what you mean jess! i once got into one of those bidding wars and ended up spending way more than i wanted to for my jacket. i've actually heard of people who have 2 trademe accounts and when something is due to close they go into their other account and start to push the bids up so they'll get more for it. i think that stinks! ]]> Sun, 11 Mar 2007 09:03:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6112&PID=117759&title=trademe#117759 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6112&PID=117750&title=trademe#117750 Author: kebakat

Ok so one thing i cannot stand is when you in the last 2 mins of bidding and someone bids against you at like 20secs to go then it goes back to 2mins and then they wait till 20secs again and it continues for the next 10 mins that frustrates me soooo badly!!! ]]> Sat, 10 Mar 2007 22:43:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6112&PID=117730&title=trademe#117730
