JohnG 41 Posted July 21, 2009 one could make some good coin doing that full time I recall your door lock pics - an odd thing to collect but it seems people who like watches tend to like other mechanical contraptions Yeah, they will go into my house eventually. All from the 19th century - cast iron "box locks" that mount on the outside of door (not recessed) and use skeleton keys, with either glass or porcelain knobs.... I was aslo into old bakelite phones for a while - they are also going into the house.... coolest one if from the 50's, cast iron, weighs 15 kilos, from a mine in Germany....

If not, I will try it.... Just noticed this on the page! 14-Jul-2009 6:25pm PDT — eBay's made a strange change that will cause 2.0.1 to freeze on trying to parse non-US items. I'm working on getting a fix out now I assume that's the problem! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 82 Posted July 24, 2009 Odd - it may be that I'm using a slightly older version. I don't upgrade it that often.. I've successfully sniped quite a few times with it recently, though. Hmm - it may be that the problem occurs when trying to bid on non US items via the US site.. Anyhow, keep an eye on it - he usually fixes that kinda thing real quick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to try the JustSnipe.com one! Yeah, you get five free snipes a week with them - I am going to try some software though, want unlimited snipes, and for that justsnipe.com charged $5 a month (fair, but hey, if you can get it free with software....)
