Its so funny
 

Thought I'd sign up with AuctionSniper and have a go after the recommendations here.

Up for grabs was a Marchi 5 spoke rear mag wheel that would need some work but I think could be made to match my Front Magnesium jobbie.

Start price was £75 - it was on a 7 day auction with no bids until this morning (the final day).

I figured going £20 higher might stand me in with a chance and set the 'sniper' running....it took a while to sign in set up so dont try and do it 5 mins before the end of an auction.

here is the bid history:

The first won - as he weirdly increased his own maximum bid 14 minutes after placing it - but it worked!!!

The other 3 bids all came withing the last few seconds of the auction (one of them EXACTLY so even more suspicious !!) and I would of been outbid anyway.

Interesting though - I wonder if all the snipe companies are owned by Ebay (or am I being cynical :lol: ).
