Thread: Ebay

Lately I have been bidding on plunge routwers on Ebay. I've been out bid in the last few hours while at work, I figured I'm off today so I'd watch what was happening today since my current auction ended today. I'm tired of lurkers who wait until 30 seconds to place a bid so I set a timer today and busted a would-be, and finally get a router that will patch some holes in my 150 year old wood floors in the old part od the house. I do have a router, but need a plunge router to do this job. It is a pain to keep bidding on these only to get outbid in the last 10 seconds while I'm at work, so today I finally scored a great used condition router fronm Porter Cable, with a fence setup for a great price. It feels good but frustrating to do this with everything on ebay! Next is suspention parts for the truck! It seems these 28 day bids leave you up in the air in the end. I'm always at work when the auction ends, and some @#$^$ bids at the last second to get you out of the picture. I figue you can't always be there at the end of the auction, and don't want to get into a ridicuolous bidding war ahead of time so you hope nobody will sit there and wait to get you in the 15-20 seconfd window before it ends! So fortunately today I won, for a good deal, for the tool I need that will easily outlive my use for it!
