I sniped my 79 XS Special, but I bid about an hour too early (auction ended while I supposed to be in church, God loves bikers, but...). I set my max bid and hoped for the best, it probably cost me $275 more, but I got my bike. Thankfully, the other sniper had a low threshold of "I have got to have that!!!!"

I just re-read my last statement and let me clarify that it was not meant for people on the list!!! Sorry I was just mad. It was a bike that I wanted to buy, but a pedal bike not an MC. I am all for bidding at the last min.!!!! At least that does not drive up the price as much as bidding with a week left!
I had a co-worker that had several Email accounts and different Ebay profiles for each one.
He would bid on his own stuff to drive up the price. He would enter bids to find a current bidders max bid and hope they would bid a little higher to get the item. I would imagine this happens all too often.

If eBay were to ever figure out, they'd shut him down. They take that pretty seriously. I found out you can't even bid on a relatives or roommates auction without getting some nasty gram emails from eBay staff.
On a side note, I'm all about the sniping the items I want. Get 'em cheeper that way ... ... That's how I landed my '78 floorboards for $40.

I just copped a 4R0 ignition module for $40 delivered! I'd call that one hell of a deal, as there is one on auction now and the bid was at $80 a few hours ago.
Im at 9 on ebay... waiting for 10th feedback and 20 items total.
A friend got a nice honda CM400 (or was it 450) for under 300$. Changed the battery, gas, oil and plugs and it runs great.

If it doesn't have an engine, it's not a sport, it's only a game.
(stole that one from I-dont-know-who)
I recently got a tank and side covers from a 78 standard for $75 off eBay. I think I'm the first one to see the side covers and I couldn't hit the "buy it now" button fast enough.
I put a bit over minimum bid on the tank and no one bid against me on it. I didn't think I'd get it but, I figured it would be nice to have...
