If you bid early you're only pushing the price up for yourself later on (unless nobody else is interested of course).Nightwing said:yeah, hereI put in $1,300, but shouldn't have bid so early
not a very good deal for the seller if you ask me, with an average price of $150 per bust.Darth Boru said:Unlucky, but it would be a big bundle of cash to blow in one shot.....
Check out this set of 31 GG mini busts going for $4630. Apparently (according to the seller anyway - I wouldn't know for sure) its a full set of everything released so far, but NOT including a sandtrooper.
It ends in about 2 hours, so probably over when you see this, but its US buyers only, so we couldn't bid anyway - even if we had that kinda cash spare (I still haven't won the lottery!)
I know that, but I had no access to the computer so I had to bid at that time.Buzz Bumble said:If you bid early you're only pushing the price up for yourself later on (unless nobody else is interested of course).
It's best to never bid before the closing date and try to be there at the bitter end in a frantic bidding war ... unless it's something you really want at a reasonable price, in which case use the Buy Now option.
they do that to get people interested. If you start at reserve price, that puts people off bidding. However, the lower the price, the more attractive it is to people to bid, even if it does end up expensive.What I find extremely silly is the auctions that start at $1, but the reserve price is is way higher. Auctions should always start at the reserve price. If nobody bothers bidding the person knows to try again with a lower reserve price. (House auctions are even worse with phantom bidders, etc. falsely pushing the price up. :fume
