It didn't appear to be getting too many bids, so I'm betting it will be lower soon.
By the way, since you are new to ebay, be aware that about half (or more) of the bids on an item come in at the last minute, so don't be disappointed if you are winning at $2.50 with 5 minutes to go and end up losing at the last second. Just bid how much you want and if you win, great, if not, rarely does an item not appear in a week or two again... |
yesh, i am sad. i did bid on a beautiful two tier xmas tray for about $2, i check the page today and 3 more people had bid and uppped it to over $11, i'm ducking out
i do like the feature that i can e-mail sellers and ask queetions. i have done that and they have all replied.
i should probably do what you say, and just bid last minute, if i'm around a computer and can remember when the bidding ends...
my boyfriend has bought something off ebay before but he did the 'buy it now' option and did not really end up bidding anyway but his merchandise came promptly and packaged well
bye
