I never bothered getting the program to enable me to snipe others, but that's another post and I've already done that. I just got sniped on E-Bay on an item I sort of wanted. I put my maximum bid in and lost, searched the same item and found a buy-it-now $10 cheaper than what I had on the item I just lost. I quickly bought the item and will relax in the glow of KARMA!

re: Just got sniped on E-Bay, but...

sniping is so much less lethal in philately than in some other occupations

it's one of the nice things, or so I think, about SOR. Such sneaky approach to winning doesn't exist.

But, then again, you might have to wait longer

re: Just got sniped on E-Bay, but...

All depends on the item. There are items you can find every day on Ebay and such you find only once.
With some of the common items I play for a long time, like the federal ducks RW1 and all other federal duck stamps. I have been putting low bids for many months as I do not care if I get it or not; there is always the next chance.Happy

But even then, I managed to shoot 9 different federal ducks in only a 2-week period and I am considering a seasonal closure on my hunting. There are few ducks remaining to add to what I already have. Maybe next fall I will shoot two more and call it a season again.Cool

re: Just got sniped on E-Bay, but...

We were at an APS show in Hartford some years ago and a woman at a booth was selling ducks for a dollar apiece...i was not that familiar with them but i purchased 4 or 5. She said one guy purchased 600 of them. Of course these were not the expensive ones...cataloging them they probably were in the $4.00 to $6.00 range.

"ducks for a dollar apiece.."



I bought about 24 different ones in 3 lots that ended up costing me $0.70 a piece but generally, even the common ones can easily fetch $3 if sold as singles.

Anyways, sniping is fun, but unfortunately I have seen the selection of stamps offered on Ebay deteriorate greatly over the past 10 years! Now it takes forever to find something worth bidding on !
