I use auction sniper. It'll put in your bid in the last 6 seconds. No sense showing your hand early

Last minute bidding makes tons of sense
If I bid $60 one day 1 people can bid me up over the next week. If I I'd $60 at the last second and the only other guy bidding has a high bid of $30 and thinks he is going to win....my last minute bid of $60 will win the auction at $31. I won't actually pay all the way to $60 because of proxy bidding
But on eBay, it only shows the next highest +$1 (or whatever it is). You are assuming that the people that bid you up won't otherwise bid. They don't know what you bid, so anything they throw in they have to be willing to pay, they arent just bidding you up.
I think those were Wingmasters
This one came off a Super Magnum and I'm about 90% sure it is the original stock from the factory on that gun based on the guy I bought it from
But hey....let's hope at least 2 of my bidders think you are right!
Right. That's why it's dumb to bid early.
You bid $60 total but the max bid is $20. Then other people will run your bid up to $60 trying to outbid you.
But if the auction is at $20 and you bid $60 at the last second....may you win it between $21 and $60. Maybe you don't. But no one has the time to bid against you to run you out.
This doesn't work when there are 10 other interested bidders
It works like a charm ther there is 1 other guy who put in a low proxy bid
You are assuming that when the bid is $20, nobody else is going to bid. If everyone bids what they typically would, but at the last second, the outcome is the same.
Still at $112... 7m to go.
Its like watching an election, lol.
Clearly its the 870 auto sear pictured here that drove them to it
