I'm not very original either/way to lazy/don't like to be confused, so my eBay ID is the same as here:
retroricerocketrider.
I'm thinking of shortening it to
R4, because having to type in my entire ID goes against my lazy nature.
If I do recognize a KZr members ID and they have bid on something I want/need, I'll either wait for another of that item to be listed for sale, or if I REALLY need it I'll send a PM and ask what that member is willing to bid up to on that item.
If it's less than what I'M willing to spend, I let that member know that I won't bid unless someone else has bid past that max amount.
Most of the time I'll place a small bid on an item just so my ID shows up, in hopes that another KZr member recognizes it and we don't end up in a bidding war.
The reason for not entering my max bid right away?
Newbie eBay members and other members who "just can't stand losing" tend to drive prices up to ridiculous amounts, and I'd rather not add ammo to their battle (there WILL be another part like that for sale eventually).
Besides, I almost always snipe auctions with my max bid within the last 2~3 secs anyway.
I like to win (and usually do
) as well, I just play rough while doing it!
