How do I find out what someones maximum bid on an item is: Here is the item, i dont know how to find out what the other guy has put as his max bid, any help would be appreciated thanks:
What an odd question.....are you trying to bid on something or are you the seller!?!?!?
I am attempting to bid on the item, I havnt really participated in a propper bid where other ppl want to win the item aswell. lol
Anyways are there any sneaky tips or secrets that allow u to win a bid for cheap, how do i outbid this guy, wat if i bid at the last second? will he still beat me if his max bid is more than my bid?
In order to win, you have to bid more than the other bidders. If your bid is less than the other bidder's max bid, you don't win. It doesn't matter when you bid if your bid is less.
First off, the best thing to do is bid your maximum. If the other bidder is higher then at least you know that he was willing to bid higher than you. If your max is the highest, then you wil win the auction at one increment higher than the second highest bidder. I have bid $150 before, and won the item for $50. Also, if you can bid at the last minute, that gives you an advantage. That way the other bidder can't come back and bid above you. Last minute bidding is called sniping. Please beware that there are snipe programs out there. It is not uncommon for one or more bidders to come into an auction in the very last seconds. It is possible that an auction sees more action in the last minute than in the entire auction time.
Also, please remember that many sellers start auctions at $1. Just because it is at $1.25 doesn't mean it's going to stay there. I have no idea how much these cards are worth. But if the current price is a steal, rest assured, you aren't the only won monitoring the auction.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the current high bidder has a low bid. It's not uncommon for serious bidders to wait until the last minute for auctions like this.
Ok firstly is this Gixen thing Legit, like if i d/l it install and wat not its not gonna scam my acc and steal my moneys?(as i dont have allot lols)
secondly thanks for the replys, I do really appreciate the time you take to answer my sumtimes ignorant and stupid questions.
So Im thinking this Gixen thing could be pretty cool, otherwise i shud slowly try find out how much this guy is willing to pay for this thing by maybe throwing a 20$ bid out there, when i found the item it was at 0.11$ so i threw out a 1$ bid(lol) and was immeadiatly outbidded, anyways thanks again for the replies....
They make many good Ebay tutorial books out there. It sounds to me like you are a newbie with the whole Ebay thing. If you really want to win this lot, I suggest you take a crash course in one of those books. I also don't think a $2 bid is going to win this lot.....
There are many sniping websites. I use gavelsnipe. Since it sounds like you are new, I suggest going with one of the sniping websites that are free. And like the last poster mentioned, please don't get excited because the bids are low right now. More than likely it will be bid up to its value by the end.
The set is a very common English junk issue in rough condition. Rough shape is rare because they're usually only found in very high grade. If you search ebay for 1934 cricketers set 7 will come up from US sellers and 26 come up from international sellers. If you search completed listings in the last 15 days you'll see 5 sets were sold in the $3.30 to $6.50 range. I would not panic if you lose the current auction as there's more on right now to bid on and more will be listed next week.
