I seldom go into auctions, ebay or otherwise, but I did last Saturday with Pool.com.
Nearly lost a name to a sniper.
I shot the name up to $200 from $60 with about less than 2 mins to go.
Was immediately sniped back with $210.
Replied with $250 with less than a minute to go and was surprised to see myself already outbidded with $260.
With seconds left, I shot down $300. The auction closed.
I noticed that sniper had already shot in yet another bid of $281. Had the person made the final attempt at $301, I would have lost. Tricky stuff. Trying to outfox me while keeping the bid as low as possible.
We learn.
How best do you approach and win in sniping encounters?
