I just won an auction for a little mini spycam on Fleabay. I'm gonna use it to build a slot car camera truck. But I sniped it with like 20 seconds left...

am I a bad person? Little support here, guys...

Naaaahh ;-)
Is there another way to win an item in fact ?

But to not be considered as a bad guy, means you got to snipe manually and not with a special program or tool (that could be found on the web)...

That's why I wake up sometimes too late in the morning and tired to death (y'know, with red rabbit eyes and a skunk breathe), only because I was following some US auctions, trying to win them at 2-3 o'clock in the morning instead of sleeping :drunk:

have you checked this page lately?

I'm trying to set up the truck a little differently. I want to be able to mount it on either a 440 chassis or a US-1 chassis...

ok, then, I feel better... I did it by watching the auction and hovering over the computer till it closed... :D

That's why they call it an auction, the high bidder wins. Randy.

Check the guy's other auctions. He seems to have like a zillion of these. You can BIN for like $21.99, or take your chances bidding. Heck, it saved me 12 bucks. I just bookmarked a whole bunch from this guy, it seemed he had one of these ending every hour and a half, and kept lowballing till I got one.

rick- I got my Faller Cadillac from Claudia36, so I am out of the running on future bids. I didn't even snipe it. It closed after my bedtime! I think the international shipping scared everyone, but I have never had a problem.

I did the camera thing. It is pretty cool. It is a challenge securing it to the car. and you want to put it on a body that is extremely flat to the chassis.

Was that the pink one without the roof that just closed last night? That was in an auction with 2 other cars, a cut Galaxie and an Indy racer?
