So I was bidding on a set of JDM taillights on ebay. One had a slight crack in it and it was going for 51.00 and I had the bib until someone at the last second out bid me by a dollar like and because I didnt get the notice fast enough on my phone.
Now I guessing it may be someone on here and if it is I would at least like an apology for out bidding me like that because Im working on a cool lighting idea, but you where nice enough to not allow me to continue.
If you are nice enough I will offer you 70.00 + shipping.

Also if anyone has a pair of fulty set of JDM tails please pm me!
Thanks

EDIT: FS ST202 front clip parts are for sale.

It's ebay what do you expect?

I do that kind of stuff to people, but that wasn't me. It's ebay, last bit wins. People do it to me, and I do it to others.

What kind of tail lights were they? USDM or JDM? I have almost 3 sets of the USDM one's lmao

JDM
It just sucks, I really dont want to spend 130+ on a set of tails Im just going to rip apart

HAPPY 4TH of July!!! Having a blast with fireworks!!!

had the same thing happen to me on nengun Auctions! it sucks, bidding sucks

no bidding does not suck, i always place the highest bid always. when i really want something.

Most people just set up an application that bids dozens of times in the last few seconds of an auction so that they squeeze ahead at the last moment.

It's called sniping... and it is rather annoying, but all you can do is either place your bid REALLY high, or snipe auctions like others.

ok, ill take the 70 usd, but need your zip code to do shipping...

There is seriously a thread about this? lol
IBTL?

Do you have pics, I know your not the person who out bid me, but thanks for the help!

If you snipe in last 5min on yahoo japan it resets the clock to 5min every time ..
I hope ebay does not do this anytime soon

Thats how ebay works. Next time set a higher minimum bid.

Maybe you should call the internet police and file a complaint?


This is common practice on eBay, how do not know that?

I rarely buy on ebay and when i do its buy now stuff.

While it can be disappointing not to get that super bargain you thought you were going to get the point of online auction sites is to allow the seller access to the biggest possible market place upon which to sell their products. Remember auction sites make their money from fees off the seller, not the buyer and typically the size of the fee is relative to the amount of the sale.

Here in NZ Trademe auto-extends an auction by about 3 minutes if someone tries to drop in a last minute bid and I think this is entirely reasonable. It gives oportunity for other bidders to decide if they want to bid again, and it means the seller is going to get a fair bidding war rather than someone trying to sneak a bargain in the last few seconds.

From the buyers perspective, we potentially gain access to a far greater range of products (or products that would otherwise be all but impossible to source) and often with more sellers competing against each other so the laws of supply and demand still apply!
