Strategies for Buying Test Equipment on E*bay Part 2
----------------------------------------------------
I'm still learning about E*bay...
I have my suspicions about the "watching items" feature in E*bay.

Watching items??? I suspect this is more like a "I'm watching you watch
items" feature..

I think you need to stay off ebay while you're stoned. ;-)

Cheers!

lol :) Maybe a few smd transistors accidently feel into my morning
cereal...

Yeah...I'm showing a bit of E*bay paranoia but if E*bay wanted to make
more money, they could sell information such as most "watched items",
popular search keywords and page hit lists to resellers.
This results in more sales to make E*bay even more money..

If resellers have that information, buyers lead them to a hot item,
then the resellers snipe.

Surely that would ensure they paid more than the group of willing buyers
was willing to pay?

They would have to add some sort of value before even making their money
back. You may be over thinking things.

Yup..A reseller (tipped off by E*bay that it's a hot item) would have
to bid as high as possible to beat a group of bidders for a hot item.
Once a reseller owns the hot item, it's very probable that they can
resell it for a profit. It's a 'hot' item... Everybody wants it and
even fools will pay extra for it. :P
It's a gambling game.

You probably spend more on lattes in a year than you did for your
