WTB: IIDX Archbanner

Enaress · 02-12-2007, 06:49 PM

So I got ripped off 3 times on eBay because people don't know how to auction correctly (coming in within the last 30 secs and doubling the price and stealing the item from under you), so I'm looking for any archbanners from 10th or newer. Not looking to pay over 100 either (none of those archbanners were over 100 except 10th style which was 150).

EDIT: Willing to also trade a Drummania V2 archbanner for a IIDX one.
EDIT2: I prefer a HAPPY SKY or DistorteD archbanner.

Edited first post to say that I am willing to also trade a Drummania V2 archbanner for a IIDX one.

You could have put a bid for whatever price you wanted to pay and if it got outbid, then that's that, end of story, or else bid more.

This is eighteenspikes off Ebay and I didn't appreciate those messages you sent to me as well as to kyo kasunagi. You have no right to call people assholes because they were faster and willing to pay more money for an item.

that is why u enter a "max bid" even if they try to "snipe" you, you will still be up on top

this leads to doing a bit of research on what you are buying...

anyway, bl with the ebaying,

Ditto previous poster. Enter a higher max bid. I wound up swooping into some auctions last night at what, ten minutes before they were closing? And I won less than half of them, as someone had put in a max bid that was higher than I was willing to go 5 days ago (except on the ones that I really wanted a lot).

Granted, I don't consider myself an auction "sniper" (I originally planned to bid in the morning, but couldn't swing home to pick up my computer because of the snowstorm), but this still holds. Evaluate how much you're willing to pay - not how much you'd *like* to pay or you *hope* to pay, but how much the item is worth to you. Ask yourself: will I be happy if I win this auction for $50? How about $63.33? Then make that your maximum bid. 9 times out of 10, people run into problems with sniping because they don't bid what they're willing to pay, they bid what they want to pay.

Im sorry, I've never had to deal with "auction snipers" before, it was the first time. I didn't know this happened so often on eBay. I don't buy from there often.

Edited first post saying I prefer a HAPPY SKY or DistorteD archbanner, if any. Still willing to trade my DM V2 arch (plus some money probably) for one.
