EBAY! WHY??!?!!?!

[RinkRat]

I finally found something I wanted to bid on, and their site wigs out!

5 minutes left, & I can't place a bid, or go to any other auction...

Now the auction is over. :(

100mm f2 at $126!

Ugh...

[mrclark321]

Is Ebay still down????

[RinkRat]

Is Ebay still down????

Seems to be.

Must be a sign. Guess I'll go back to B&H's site, and keep on dreamin'. :(

[mrclark321]

EBAY IS DOWN....A lot of people are going to be pissed!!

[Bodog]

Me too! (70-200 f4L). Hopefully they will extend the bidding. :evil:

[mrclark321]

Did you see the price the last 70-200mf4L went for???

Used went for more than new!!

Probably another DOS attack (man runs in throwing 5.25 inch disks around ;) ), like the one that hit Google on the weekend. Not much they can do about that.

Yes, you have to be careful. Some real idiots out there. I see it all the time. I think it's all about "winning". Sometimes I feel like sending a B&H link for a new one to the high bidder... :rolleyes:

The 'Thrill of the chase'? See it alot on our local auction site here in NZ too, shame it doesn't seem to happen to things I am selling :(

[Wazza]

Bugger!

I've seen it myself happen also, with the local trademe.co.nz site Pete mentions.

Especially the people with $1 reserves, and many auctions go crazy in the last 10minutes.

Yeah missed out on a 28-135IS that was a $1 reserve, was sitting around half retail 30 minutes before closure, then went over retail in the last 10 minutes!

I made heaps on a lounge suit the other day when it went nuts.
I started with a $1 reserve on a couch and two chairs I was told I should throw out.
On the last day it went from $50 to a final price of $190 :D :D

I couldn't trust a sale of E-bay, there are simply to many scams. But trademe is still young and growing and has yet to be infected to badly.

I've only sold 4 items myself on TradeMe

A couple of "photographers" have taken away the joy of putting on a decent photo and selling it. Particularly the guy with 950 images from a cheap digi cam on CD for about $15-25. I think he's sold many of them. And no bids for the genuine, higher quality prints.

You get what you pay for. :rolleyes:

I'm still looking at selling on particular shot I have, all framed up. Just don't feel like putting it up, when only 10% of photos sell there. It's just not the right place for photos.

Yep, I have a whole pile of 'junk' downstairs, going to put it all up 'as is' for $1 reserves. Should be fun!

[Moppie]

Should be fun!

Make sure you enable "Autoextend" I ended up glued to my PC untill midnight watching the price go up while I grinned and then yelled with glee!
