    Calculated Shipping $13.45 (eBay)

    Seller's should be required to enter feedback as soon as they are paid, not waiting to see what feedback THEY received and then responding in kind. I report any seller who tries to hold my feedback hostage when I am dissatisfied with a transaction.

    How long does it take to place a manual bid? (eBay)

    I connect through DSL and manually snipe at 6 seconds. I will have 2 windows open; one to keep track of eBay auction time and the other with my bid confirmation ready to go. Works out pretty good for me that way.

    Ever get tired of defending your tool brand?

    Haha, that is a two way street as anyone who reads this board knows. Type Craftsman in the search here and see how many threads are started by SO groupies complaining about the big C-man. Do not get me wrong, I like Snappy stuff, but the vast majority of my tools are Craftsman. I can well...

    Blue Point, Why Not "Made In USA"? Greed?

    If you are serious I would like to read it. When the promise of universal coverage via government run health care buys enough votes to see implementation, my advice is to get in for an overhaul early on. Based upon the European and Canadian models in place, there is about a 15 year window of...

    Ebay seller Brokntool

    Disagree. Since I began using a sniping program I find that I am paying substantially less on the whole than before. The difference is not in the predetermined max bid amount, it is in the timing of the placement of the bid. Yes, I still lose some auctions when those I am bidding against have a...

    Strange Bidder History on eBay

    While you won't pay more than 75% of retail, using a sniping program increases the chances that you will pay much less. Say bidder A has had a bid of $50 dollars riding for the past two days on an item you are interested in that retails for $100. You place your $75 bid and blow bidder A away...

    Strange Bidder History on eBay

    Using a sniping program is the only way to go. In addition to the benefits previously mentioned, swooping in for a last second snipe keeps your bidding/buying history safe from the prying eyes of contending bidders. Savvy eBay users will check bidder history in an effort to determine bidding...
