Youve been watching two of the same buggys on ebay and been the only one to bid ....only to have missed out by 10p because you had to start work 15 mins before bidding ends.

It was two kyosho sandmasters,ez build, wanted one for nephew but someone got both for under 30 quid each .

Yip, I have learned my lesson now though. If I am not able to watch the end of the auction live then I will put in the maximum I am prepared to pay then cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Do snipe tools work?

You read that book, do sweat the small stuff and ignore the big thingy?

I just want to say, deals will come around, just got to keep looking, but also keep an eye on work with the other eye.

Personally I hate them and don't think they should be aloud.

Me I'll watch an item if I can or bid my maximum price... + 17p It's surprising how often that's won me am item!

[Percymon 2184]

I'm not a huge fan of them either but if an item has no bids on with with an hour to go they are often better then putting in an early bid - items with no bids will either attract a cheaky silly low bid, or none at all - the snipe means you don;t encourage others to think its worth buying

Now i want to know what a snipe tool is! I all of a sudden feel like an ebay n00b.

Your not alone . Can someone explain Snipe Tool please ?

It is an automatic bidding tool. You tell it your username and password, the item number and your maximum bid. It will then bid in the closing seconds on your behalf. Same will charge you if you win the item others are free.

I have a sandmaster EZ and it needed a little work to make it work pretty good.

need to get the kyosho shock kit to make the stock ones oil filled and leave the shock bottoms unscrewed a few turns out to gain some more shock length to get more rear end travel. also go around the gear cover with some very thin stick tape foam then put it on so it seals it up and cover the 3 tiny holes in the gear cover also or dirt gets in and messes it all up.

and then they are pretty good runners mine takes a beating and I never broke anything on it yet.

I purchased one of these black axe EZ series the other day loved the looks of this one!

it should be here maybe some time late this week or next week.

Is this bidding tool by ebay? I thought ebay already allows you to put in the max bid and will only increase your bid provided some one else has out bidded you and will stop bidding once your max. bid is reached. (I haven't sold or bought anything from ebay for a long long time)

No, these are 3rd party apps. Ebay does work exactly like you say but I, and a lot of others, believe that by bidding early in the action all you do is drive up the final price. Others don't believe this but hey ho.

Greg, i did read all that and it sounded good for my nephew, not too difficult and it was cheap. He did struggle with a pumpkin and this would have been ideal. Cheers tho

[GregM 1109]

Hi Camy, please excuse me if I sounded offending. For the money you wanted to spend these cars would have been a good deal, for sure. Too bad they got snatched away from you.

[camy67 13]

No offence what so ever greg. Just gonna keep looking, maybe for nephew....maybe for me . ;-)
