bying markers on ebay

[Psycosis!]

hey,
i am currently trying to by a spyder tl plus black new from ebay
surprisingly there are alot there but they all go for high prices!

i am just wandering what are the chances of getting one for about $45? they seem to go for bout $80

but i suppose i could wait and splash out a bit more and get one on ebay

[pr0kch0p]

your chances are exactly 7:1

[Magadeth]

Actually more like 6.9999875:1 :P

Bid at the last moment. I made a bid with 5 minutes left, I was outbid so I bid again. I then got outbid by a different person.

[adVanCedSh0t]

exactly wait till the last few minutes and bid thats what i do and i win most of them. you just gotta watch out cause some people do it too.

[Psycosis!]

what i mean is

i have £30 to spends (roughly $45) now the spyder tl + seems to go for about $80 + i mean wont people stop bying it at some point (due to the fact that they have one) therefore the price will drop
and i will be able to by it or will i have to wait a month or 2 and just pay an extra £30 totaling $90 ish

becouse i am poor and i want the tl + and this is the inly way i can afford one
:( It looks so cool and from what i have herd it is ALOT better than the compact

but any way is this going to happen or is it just wishfull thinking

[unknown]

man they are like 150 new, how in he-double hockey sticks do you think you can get 'em for 40? arghh.

[Psycosis!]

well as i said on ebay they go for about $80

NEW!
a store puts some up every day on a 3 day auction


so if they do that eventually all the people who want one will have one

and not so many people will bid on them meaning that they will be cheaper!

cmon i mean the bidding starts at $10 a piece!
surly they could go for $45

but i was jus saying i Guess i will just have to wait till next month when i have more money

[adVanCedSh0t]

just wait and then you can get more upgrades and things for it.

i mean cmon u go on ebay all the time and see pictureless items that say the gun name and thats it. like a cocker for 50$ is this getting screwed or will u get the marker

[Jordan]

first off....the auction willl go up...think about it.....more than a million users on ebay and u think ppl wont be interested in tl+'s?

ppl wait for the last minute thus meaning at the last minute it will go up

check the users feedback...thats the only way...and if u get screwed over..if u use paypal paypal gives u ur money back and if u get screwed over $150 + ebay gives u the money back and charges the guyz credit card

well u will get the cocker, but, usually, no pic, it jsut says


autococker gun for sale you pay shipping..

it'llg enerally be a beat up like 93 cocker.

well if you only have 45 dollars won't you run into problems when it comes to shipping to england? There are the large shipping costs and most likely duties to be dealt with.

As for the "does anyone ever get screwed by e-bay" i or none of my friends have so far and we've bought most of our stuff off it. my friend even got a 12 volt thats works perfectly for about 12 bucks.

[Psycosis!]

well my dad is great and has lent me some money :)
so i am trying to get one for bout 90 dollars

AND!
he said he will pay tax / shipping you know all the extra fees

i will pay him the other 45 dollars start of next month

so this marker will cost me about 60 pounds
:) :) :)

[MOOSEontheLoose]

thinking ur gonna get one for 45 is retarded. make sum more money and buy one....also....most people from ebay are from the states, and i bet it would be at least 25 bucks to ship it to britain............oh no, better get one for 20 bucks now or your over your limit!

[Skittle]

for the price of a tl+ you can get a compact and upgrade it, it will be alot better too, because it will be custom, u can do about anything to a compact, and if u upgrade one to the equal of a tl+ it will still be better because u have to remember, that tl+ is still stock and the stuff on the compact is aftermarket

[frenchtoastdude]

Mooseontheloose are you stupid? lol didnt you read the thread before you?

[blake_sw]

****!! Ok, last night I got outbid my a lousy $.50 on a 68ci tank cover!! F*********CK!! That pisses me off so much. I ended up buying another tank cover for $5 more, but still, ****!

[pk3`]

what you want to do is bid in the last 30 seconds

[blake_sw]

He outbid me in the last 10 seconds..I tried to outbid him but it was too late. ARGH

[SH4YD33]

did that to me too.. a while back i was trying to buy a scuba i was gunna get it for 70 and this guy outbid me by a dollar. i was pissed but.. i got a better tank for 80 :) but look for the auctions ending the day you want to bid. wait til the almost end.. and bid.

[blake_sw]

HOO HOO. I won a PE 3k/68 fibre tank on Ebay for $90, hee hee. Outbid some poor soul within the last 5 seconds. I'm getting the tank for $200 less then they cost in Canadian stores, WIN!
