Have you ever bid on an item and did you win/lose?

Question

Lol my stress level just skyrocketed again  😂 I’m not tryna bid ever again. I really wanted this rare dvd collection and this little hoe kept outbidding me by 50 cent everytime lol. Its been going on for days. They tried to outbid me in the last 10 secs but In the end, I won yet paid 50% more than the original listed price lol. I real talk feel I was bidding against the seller and they just wanted to see how high I’d go. Fck that  #FeelFreeToList #SoldToTheHighestBidder

only bid once on ebay for this sports bra but i was so naive with how I went about it. Whenever the other person outbid me I would quickly outbid them not realizing that it could be a bot or the very seller using an alternative account to increase the item price before the countdown runs out so they can maximize their selling profits smh. I definitely didn't win but I learned a lesson haha. I now only big or I guess "bargain" when it comes to poshmark, I'm such a sucker for cute clothes that are out of stock so I can feel unique in them. 🤣

YES! Glad you won it

I knew people who used to sell on auction and they would have friends with their accounts bid the items up, to see the real interested buyer increase the bid. I have but not these days everything is so over inflated or rare or retro or vintage blah blah. You are not wrong even sellers families have accounts and are real accounts cause they buy other things and do not send up red flags, but then when the family member has an auction they drive the price up for the seller.

Sorry for your loss🙃.
-You are better off setting a price that you would pay plus $5.05 at a maximum bid. This way machine bids for you until your limit has been surpassed.
-Sometimes, my maximum bid is actually more than Sold price I receive. I’m a blow mold Christmas freak who inherited many that were made 1930-1970.
-People pay 2000.00 for right old ones. And, 600-1000 for right new ones. SO I buy new ones to sale and scout the sites for 1930-1970s.

Select highest bid and leave it. They will notify if you have been outbid.

In the future, you may just want to wait till seconds before the end of the auction and then put in your bid, not giving anyone time to beat it. Sometimes, people bid a high amount from the start. The bid that shows is the opening bid, not the highest bid. Click on bids and then on show automatic bids. That will show you if they bid high to start. That could be the reason the price keeps jumping by 50¢.

TrueConfection · Answer

Yes. I've bus and won as well as lost at auctions and on ebay. Too many to remember really anything specifically exciting. I think a fall decoration was the first item I won on eBay and my heart was pounding. 😂

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

Yep I have and thought it as fun. Truth is though, I don't bid on items that are rare. That way if I lose I'll just bid on a different one until I get the price I want.

When I was $10 I bid $1000 from my aunt's account. I meant to bid $100 but I was not wearing my glasses and hit an extra zero. She was pissed she paid $1000 for a copy of pokemon emerald XD I was just curious if it would work

Lol. You have to pay attention to these things. Always have a cutoff and don't go beyond your cutoff. No item is worth it. Always remember: "I CAN live without that."
