My e-revo project #1 - RC-Monster Forums

Jbreddawg · 03.11.2008, 05:43 PM

I have a RC mount and the slots go side to side, I figured they were like that for a reason ? Not really sure till I get the diff and spur to see where they need to be.

I have been on ebay since 1999 . Auctions end when there done and no amount of bidding before the end can change that . I have as much right to bid on an item for a e-revo as anyone else on this board . If I know, you "or anyone else on this board" was actively bidding on an item then no, I would not bid against them. I do have morals .

If you want to win an item, then you have to have the highest bid, no matter when it gets there . Jerry

suicideneil , thanks for the link !! Thats one I didnt see yet. I dont have the diff or spur gear yet, so this was just kinda a prototype . I made it at work today to see how it would look and fit. I will make another with the holes up and down. if I need more adjustment . Jerry

I wasnt bustin on ya.... I agree. All I was asying is if you are bidding on something like that the chances are good that there is another member here interested in it. I am might be what some consider a snipper on ebay too. Whats the point of running it up while the auction is still days,hours minutes away from ending. There are morons out there that would just out bid anything you bid. I'm think the site would be better if it would offer blind bidding. Everyone who is interested would place their bid and nobody would be able to see what is bid on or how many bids there were. In the end it would just go to the person with the highest offer. That would take the snipper effect out and draw the best prices for the items. It would also keep people from just trolling for underpriced auctions sniping them and turning around and just reselling them for what they are really worth.

Well ebay is going to make everyone snipers . They now have a beta program called countdown that allows you to watch the countdown to the end without refreshing anymore.

Myself ,I simply research the item, see what the going rate is, figure out what the max I'm willing to pay is and wait till the end . If the price is over what my max is, I dont bid . If it is under my max, I stick a bid in with a few seconds to go and hope for the best. Sometimes I get a bid in with 3 seconds left and find that 5 other people got bids in too !!!!! And I have missed too when my computer took an extra few seconds to load the page !!! DOH !!!
I've also seen 2 morons bid something way up on the first day bidding against each other to be highest and niether winning at the end .
