Bidding on a GSXR 1000 shock for the SV. Left it to the last second, just to make sure I got it! ... But i missed it, and it was sold for £10. Balls!

+1. I can't be bothered with sniping to get the best deal. It's only a deal if it's something I'm willing to pay.

There's no point waiting until the last minute

I have found that sending a message to the person and offering hard cash straight away and I'll pick it up always works a treat. Bought 20+ things off ebay now and only have 4 feedback since 2003

Latest was a front mudguard for the cbr £20

bargain

I've done that so often it's unbelievable I just shout and break things.

Free sniping, I use it all the time, for when I'm not at the computer.
