I was recently bidding on a music dvd by a band I like. I set up a search and received about 6 new eBay auctions a day in my search results.
The problem is that some of them were $1.95 shipping, some were $4.95 some $3.95, etc. So I always had to check the auctions out, and then adjust my snipe price so that the total amount of money I'd be sniping, along with shipping would total about $15.
I was happy though because I got it brand new still in the shrink rap for $15 when it sells for $25+ at Amazon and the local Best Buy. I was getting tired of sniping 6 auctions a day though and losing. I was determined to get it for the lowest price though. Had I just bid $15.50 or so I could have won it sooner at still one of the lowest prices it'd gone for in all that time. But then I wouldnt have any test snipes in my account
It took me about 2 weeks but I finally won one for $14.75. That was the lowest price in the whole 2 weeks, and the average was about $17.
