Not me. I was out bid by a few bucks to 130 on an rc4wd trailer a month ago. Today I had an Hpi 200mm impreza bought unddr me too. 🤣

Glad I'm not the only one.
 
I am busy getting my old crap up and running and holding up. Only cost a little more to go first class pal.....seriously though, identify your budget and stick to it, it'll pay off in the end. Cash is King.
 
Wasn't me, my budget is used up for a few weeks.. :D

All things come in time.

Not sure what you mean by first class. Budget isn't the issue, lack of value to me is. Buying a brand new one isn't a problem. I'd like to try out an E-revo and if I can get one at a discount great, if not oh well.

This is why i never bid on anything. I always just buy it outright, because I've lost out at the last second way too many times in the past.

I set a budget for most things based on my own personal value of it. If I really wanted it, I would bought it out right. But getting the car for $500 shipped was appealing, plus bidding is part of the fun.

I'll most likely buy a kraton 8s exb outright, unless I find a Crack head deal for one 🤣.

I learned the hard way, be very careful of what you call crack head deals, as sometimes the stuff is stolen. I bought a truck last year on eBay, only for it to never show up because the seller got busted for theft. That was fun dealing with eBay and paypal and proving i never received it.

Well, I make a pretty decent wage but I still have a budget, I ain't congress ;) But presuming you have lots-n-lots of cash just laying around burning a hole in your pocket, why did you set you high end limit so low...just say'n. Sorry, I wasn't intending to insult your net worth. It'll work out more better next time, don't give up pal.

That is definitely a risk of buying and selling online. PayPal can be terrible to deal with sometimes too.

This was more of a sarcastic post. I'm not upset I didn't win the auction lol. I bid to what I valued the car at.

Werent me, I wouldnt pay more than $400 for a used REVO :)
Yesterday, I had someone snipe an Xmaxx on me too.

There are a lot of people using browser addons to bid automatically in the last few seconds of an auction.
Someone of us just snipe the old fashioned way lol

I tried out one called Bid Sniper for awhile when I was buying a lot of things off ebay. Auctions were ending all hours of the day and night, and I was getting tired of getting outbid in the last 30 seconds while being asleep. The sniper fixed that, because back then, I had kickass internet compared to most and I had it set to bid in the last 6 seconds.

I should check in to that. It would be easier but I aint paying for one. See what I can dig up in the free category :)

It was a free Chrome addon. They have it for other browsers too.

I forgot about those. I rarely use an actual compute these days and forget there's none mobile browsers 🤣.

It had a few extras and looked to be in excellent shape (which can be misleading). Had it just been the truck, $400 would have been my cap.
 
Just put in your best bid every time, if you still get out bid, it is not yours to get anyway and be happy. If you get it below your best bid, you get a deal and be happy. If you just want it cheap, you are going to get out bid most of the time.
