Just described it to Bryan M. You are right John, sounds like Bruce's if they took the 912S off and replaced it with a 582.

I don't know if I am reading the bidding history right but bidder number 8 looks like he is either bidding against himself, or is the owner of the aircraft and is jacking up the Kolb price.

I just happened across a Kolb Sling Shot with out engine on E-Bay. The current bid is $5,000.00 with 7 hours left on the auction. I might be one heck of a deal. It is all red.

What it looks like is that bidder 8 has a max bid and no one has hit it yet. He will show up as the high bidder with his bid going up until his max is met. Then the other bidder will show up.

Ron:
It looks that way, but is the result of making maximum bids that are
automatically bid by the ebay program to counter a competitors bid.
That way the bidder doesn't have to sit on top of the computer to have
a chance at the item.
I buy a lot of stuff off ebay. However, I wait until the last minute
or less to make my bid. The closer I can get my max bid in to the end
date, the better chance I have of getting it at the cheapest price.
Why drive up the bid 3 days or three hour before it is over?

Yes that would be a good strategy.

John/Ron/All & sundry,
After being 'sniped' (outbid at the last minute) on some items on
e-bay, I looked in their archives and found it's almost an art. Includes
running two browser pages, installing the same atomic clock software they
use, etc. While being sniped is no fun, I do respect those who invest all
that time to do it.
Hope that SS finds a good home.

I have had good luck by running my laptop open at the same time as my old
desktop. Refresh on one while the other one is loaded and ready with the bid
ready to enter. Every once in a while I bid a second too late, but it
usually works OK.
I talked with Mike about the Slingshot earlier today, was slightly
interested. It was Chestnut's old Slingshot, and Mike was running Steven
Greene's old 582 on it, was taking off the 582 to put it on the purple &
white Kolbra that Kolb sold a while back, that is the Slingshot's
replacement.
Ought to make somebody a good airplane.
There is currently a blue head 582 on ebay for a decent price.

There are websites that do the automatic bidding (sniping) for you,
presumably for a fee. I lost out on a great deal on a paraglider that way,
with the winning bid only $10 over my max bid.

The truth is this strategy is usually a futile attempt to
manipulate a competitor's max bid, or for people who do not actually
know their own heart and what their own max price they are willing to
bid is themselves.
Whether the item sells for $.01 or $100.00 over your actual max price
you are willing to pay, you should never feel you "lost out on a
great deal".
