Ebay etiquette for AO'ers

As there are a limited no. of ebay parts for 166s, I am sure we sometimes bid against each other. How about owning up to your ebay name, and agreeing not to bid against each other (unless arranged via PMs).

This may help us get stuff cheaper

I am v6_howard boring I know..........

Re: Ebay etiquette for AO'ers

wrinx made this idea a sticky on another forum so we all know without looking up a user name who is bidding , and the done thing to do is leave it alone if another member has bid. first come first serve. also if whoever finds it first but doesn't need it it will be posted in the forsale section for everyone else to see

it works really well because you can grab yourself a bargain instead of potential 100's of your own members bidding against you

Re: Ebay etiquette for AO'ers

The other little "get out" is if you are really interested in an item send the initial bidder a PM to see if they mind you having a go. Some people buy stuff to keep "in stock" as and when it appear and don't need it urgently.

As Phil said...usually works a treat and helps us all out

Re: Ebay etiquette for AO'ers

I'm happy to take part, nothing worse than getting carried away and paying over the odds.
