Interesting to see what this eventually goes for.....

Wow a lot of newish boat for the money though bet its goes higher towards the end.

Nice to see an e bay advert without the ususall nasty comments on tyre kickers, cash only, dont bid unless your buying etc, those adds really put me of as it gives me an inside as to what your dealing with the other end.
 
What I don't understand is why people bid on ebay when there are still days remaining. Surely you wait till the very last few seconds and bid the maximum you are prepared to pay. ebay automatically adds your bid just above the last bid till your maximum is reached. By leaving it till the last few seconds you remove some of the chance of others increasing their maximum bid and beating you?
 
I thought he bought one last year, It made him a Happy one /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Agree entirely. Whilst I am in no way suggesting that this is the case here, it has been known in the past for "friends" of the vendor to pump up the bidding.................. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
 
If you bid early though you can put off other bidders, they think they won't get a bargain because there is too much competition. Often if you immediately counter other bidders they just give up. But I agree it all happens in the last 30seconds normaly.

I reckon in this case though, the seller will stop the auction if it doesn't get to a good price, stuff like this never goes that cheap.
 
1971lou is definately not GCM medDreamer, you seem convinced it is. He does seem similarily afflicted, but its not him. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
I disagree with volvopaul and the others who say "why bid with days remaining" - I would turn it around and say "why not" - what is the point in bidding at the very last minute, I don't believe you actually get it any cheaper, as everyone does the same damn thing, but it doesn't give you time to bid with careful consideration, people just panic, and sometimes end up bidding far to much, or get caught up in a real bidding war - I've lost count of how many items I have lost, but have ended up with anyhow, because I got a second-chance offer as my feedback is good and my bidding process usually considered and careful.
 
I remember that boat from when we had our S34 in Brixham around 2000,, kicked myself for not buying one... Seemed in very nice nick back then. If I recall at the time it was the only Cranchi in Brixham.
