hi crisgal, I had been the winning bid for ages on the 1971 one at �1.50!!!! It went for �1.70 at the last minute and i wasn't watching it grrrrr

I am sure i paid 9s for the original back in the day, i always bought it the week it came out in October

crikey!!! I'm bidding on a pair on ebay 1970 and 1971 and they are still 99p !!!!!

[sara3]

okay, maybe you need to get into the Ebay snipe thingy!

[sir.knobby]

Dotty use this.

It has snipped me many auctions and it works in a totally different and much better way from proxy bidding

You can always post to 'Want it Now' on EBay - it's where people request things they need. Go to 'Help' , 'A-Z Index' and 'W-Z' and it explains all about it.

[crisgal]

is it good then, that sniper thing? I lost something that I really wanted the other day by just 4p!
I might sign up for that if you can recommend it.

I saw a kids' book I wanted on Ebay and missed it. it went for �1.50.

Amazon had a few copies and they were about �80. I say buy all kids' book and sell them on Amazon!

[dot.hawkes]

my brother-in-law did tell me about that knobs but i never did get fixed up with it, he uses it apparently and never misses out, can't believe anyone else got in there !!!!

[sir.knobby]

Yes crisgirl it is very good it automatickly puts a bid in at the last 3 seconds of the auction and you do not have to put a proxy bid in so nobody will see your bid until the last 3 seconds and by then it is too late

Blimey dot, Fab208 takes me right back!

I once won a ticket to one of their parties and had a snog with Arthur Wilde (brother of Jack Wilde, the Artful Dodger in Oliver).
Happy days!

[dot.hawkes]

Yayyyyyy I won it! 99p and �5.00 postage : 0 ) lol
