I'm in complete agreement with this, I only ever 'Buy Now' or at the last second. I don't quite get the whole ebay concept, why bid a week before the item sells? Surely all you're doing is putting the price up a week too early? Seems like a fundamental flaw in the business model. Great for the seller, completely pointless for the buyer. If I bid 20 seconds before an item ends I'm pretty much guaranteed to get the item at the price I bid for it unless someone has put a buffer on their bid to go as high as a pre-determined figure.cj10jeeper wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 2:50 pmAgree re the ‘buy now’ option as a good way to go
Think of a price for something you’d be happy at, or above if you’re not fussed or rushed to sell
People who need something will buy and pay in hours and collect it have it mailed pronto. If higher they can make offers and negotiate.
I also like to buy with buy now prices as I don’t have to wait for days to see what something goes for. In fact I only esnipe these days so no need to wait and bid
Some might call it underhand, I just think it's logical.
