I was showing my dad about Ebay last weekend and bid on a 4600C Ambassadeur reel just to show him how it worked! Needed another reel anyway, only have about ten!! Got overbid almost imediately and then placed another bid telling him that I wasnt going to go any higher and figured I would get outbid and didnt think I would get the bid as Id seen these go for a lot more! Well, kept hitting refresh, refresh, refresh, and Ill be darned if I didnt get it!<br /><br />$41.00 including shipping, $60.00 at Wallys!!<br /><br />Just got it yesterday and it is like new, very happy! :D :D <br /><br />Now all I have to do is wait about three months to us it!<br /><br />LubeDude

Re: EBAY, Bought myself a Cristmas present!

I looked all last summer all over the internet, and mostly Ebay for a dual console 18' 150 HP Bass Boat! they were all somewhere in the south! or way back East!! I did find one in California and the Lady lied through here teeth about it! When I got there, clear down by Modesto ( Not too far for the right boat though)! When I saw the boat I wouldnt have towed it home for free! What part of (IN GOOD SHAPE DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND)?? That trip cost me $250.00!!! :mad: :mad: <br /><br />finally found the boat I wanted on Boattrader.com!! right here in Portland!<br /><br />Sure were a lot of great deals on Ebay though!!<br /><br />LubeDude

I know what you mean, but I already have one that needs a reel!! I used to tournament fish and I think I have enough fishing crap to furnish everyone on the forum with Bass fishing tackle!!<br /><br />LubeDude

Hey LubeDude...<br /><br />Check out these programs:<br /><br />HammerSnipe<br />ESnipe<br /><br />They are sniping programs you can use to slip bids at the very last moment of the auction end.<br /><br />Ever wonder how some manage to bid "right at the last moment"? They use sniping programs.<br /><br />H.

I use HammerSnipe from time to time.<br />It's free for their 10 second service.<br />You can buy into their 3 second service at a per-auction rate or by month etc...<br /><br />I've won several auctions using it.<br /><br />The cool ting about it is, nobody knows you are bidding on an item until the last few seconds.<br />It can save you a ton of money by avoiding the last minute bidding wars.<br /><br />H.
