RWG1: eBay exploits

Recommended Posts

JohnG

So I did a search for a watch that I am interested in on eBay. Now I get a result from a huge dealer... one bidder, at $0.01 and another, same dealer, no bids, opening bid $0.01.

 

They are both one day from close - this watch normally goes for around $200 - sometimes less, but never less than $100.... so WTF?

 

Well, I browsed dealer's eBay store, ordered ascending price, and guess what? The lowest priced watches show at $3.45 - these two watches I saw don't show up in their store or when you view a list of the dealer's sales... but the auctions exist, only noone is seeing these two...

 

So I have put in snipe order for both. Will see what happens tomorrow....

 

Got me some wood

Buy two sell one and have a nice return to boot. Well done if it works. With any luck it will happen again with his site before he realises WTF is going on.

I use justsnipe.com - it allows five free snipes a week. I once paid for it ($5 a month) when I was buying a lot of locks (yes, door locks, don't ask why)... now I just use the free service.

 

 

Well, someone found one of them - now up to $75. The other is still at .01, but has one bid... Will see what happens....

 

 

Pics after the fact, I am a secretive son of a bitch!

I use myibay sniper, got it as a trial and before it was up they sent me a 'first 20 people to apply' free activation key...I've won stacks of things on e-bay with it, your pc doesn't even need to be switched on...

Nah, a couple of other sneaky fuckers sniped it too - went way higher than what I bid... ($27.57)

 

- went for about a hundred (still not a bad price after doing a little research...

Good price - they are going for minimum $100 on eBay - PLUS $38 shipping... and that is if you are really patient...
