    Ebay rocks

    Ebay rocks, well sometimes it does.
    I have been watching a few items lately and i am ready to put a few bids on some of them and guess what i have been outbid on them all.
    You may say well i should have put more on , but you know what each bid it was won by just a few more pounds not tens of them.
    Hay ho lets start all over again,

    You need to do what most bidders do steve which is be there at the end of the auction to put in the last highest bid. Has to be done just seconds (less than 10) from the end.
    If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up

    I just put my maximum bid at the start. If it's meant to be mine then it will be. Not at all interested in paying over the odds because of a last minute bidding war

    It's like blinkin Bingo on there sometimes, but I've generally had good experiences, both selling and buying.

    I have bought one or two things recently... all of which have been as described (or better than I expected) when delivered.

    An extra Xbox 360 500GB... latest model, for 60 quid, plus a matching microsoft wheel and pedals for 30 quid.... all of which will be going to the Phils with me next month.
