    Lost an auction for a turbocharger by one dollar. That really pisses me off. I say we find the guy's house and burn it down, or something.


    Just another reason to like the gunbroker auction 15 minute rule.

    Learn to spell that's a good one. I spent 13 years in K-12 and 4 years in college, this is as good as my spelling gets.

    All of my auctions clearly state: "Bidders only - no biders allowed".

    My keyboard doesn't do double key strokes that well, it's old and wireless.

    I'd like to see a lot of E-bay's website structure applied to GB's auctions. I asked for tabs on the top of the page, like E-bay, that lists "Bid Items", "Items For Sale" and "All Items". I also asked for auction listings to be charged a fee after [predetermined amount] of re-listings.

    My post above is an "open support issue" with Gunbroker Holdings, INC. Been over six months as an open issue. Will post any reply here on the forum, when and if I get one. Joe

    PS..Glad to have the 15min. rule, though.

    The turbo was a Garrett T3 off of a 1985 Mustang SVO. It was for a little project I'm working on. I'm trying to be the first person with a turbocharged Gen 4 Taurus.

    My Taurus is an '06. This install will be a total custom job since there are no commercially available performance parts for the car, just custom made parts or parts adapted from other applications.

    I got sick of being sniped as well so I figured "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em". I signed up with www.auctionsniper.com and got three snipes free as a trial. I won all three, sometimes by pennies in the last 7 seconds.

    I then signed up for a full membership, sniped 8 auctions and my total cost to Auction Sniper was a mere $4.87. You just set your snipes and forget about it and only pay for the snipes you win.

    Sorry you lost your auction,cat. When I first joined ebay,I lost some auctions by last second bidding.I have since became a pro at winning auctions in the last few seconds. You should just start doing it or you will continue to lose auctions.

    Get yourself a stopwatch. With a winning bid registered with ONE SECOND to spare, I am considered a Master Sniper! [:D]

    I'm not new to ebay, my internet connection just slowed down right at the end of the auction.

    That's why you should bid what you are willing to pay. If you were willing to go another dollar higher you should have bid another dollar higher.

    I'll just save some more and buy a remanufactured turbo instead of taking a chance on a used one.

    Yeah yeah yeah, bid higher. Got it, I was planing on sniping this one if I got out bid, the other guy just happened to have the same plan and was a hair faster.
