Me too, but I resisted. But 5 people were and won by a "professional" using bidding software.

I was tempted too and I,m sure it wasn't won by a professional using bidding software

It's called a sniping tool, free / very cheap and easy to use, available to anyone.

Just bids in the last few seconds so it basically has the last bid

you win if your last bid is the highest.

What makes you think that the auction in question was won like that

Probably some sad old bloke sat in front of the telly on sat night won it…now he’s wondering what on earth he’s going to do with all those feeler fingers

I am that sad bloke. I always bid manually, and always only in the last five seconds of an auction. I've got it off to a fine art

But, I didn't bid on this one

[Ian ParkinParticipant @ianparkin39383]

I have a use for quite a bit of it but if anyone wants some i’ll Do half or quarter of teh whole lot for 1/2 or 1/4 the cost to me

[colin branniganParticipant @colinbrannigan54160]

I use the last 5 second method on most things I really want, I decide how much I want to bid and if I win great, if I lose it then it was too expensive, never get into a bidding war early on.

I generally wait till 3 seconds very rarely lose because of hardware/connection problems

If I'm otherwise occupied, I use a sniping tool. Normally, like you, I just do it manually from a real PC.

I've rarely missed through connection errors, but have missed several times as I've not heard the alarm on my phone as I've left it on silent.

[Ian ParkinParticipant @ianparkin39383]

Well the feelers arrived 40 kg in all packed

SteveI has had half of the total lot

I still have far too much for my needs

So if anyone wants some I have 4 lots of 9 thou 17 thou 22 thou and 4 boxes of 23 thou i'll do these at £10 posted to the uk or all 4 lots for £22

this is 12" long by 1/2" wide 10 to a box

70 strips in all

40 Kilo!

Glad I didn't bid on them! Mrs Jimmyb is fond of reminding me of the time I bought a joblot of air filters for weird cars. I got about 150 for £5. Took years to get rid of them…..
