eBay certainly has its merits.
eBay certainly has its merits.
Not sure if this is the right forum to post this but here goes.
I've been bidding on two items from eBay, one of which I've already won.
The first item is the Mega-CD (PAL) version of Snatcher, the real classic that we all know and love. I tried bidding on another copy not too long ago, though unfortunately I think I got sniped at the very last few seconds. Hopefully I'll have better luck this time, I'm determined to snag myself a copy.
The second of the two is a game that's been recommended to me by a couple of people, and since I'm a big fan of the film, it's highly likely that I'll enjoy it. I speak, of course, about the Blade Runner PC game, developed by Westwood Studios. I won this about an hour or two ago now, for the humble sum of £5.19 (about $8 or so) - which isn't bad.
All that's left now is to find a copy of Zone of the Enders 2 and to preorder both Suikoden V and MGS3: Subsistence.
I think that just about wraps it up. Any thoughts on the Blade Runner game?

i second that, the game is excellent.
BTW, I recommend doing that "sniping" technique you mention, otherwise people only raise the prices and you end up paying more than you wanted or loosing. I usually just bid in the last 10 or 20 seconds, the maximum amount that I honesty would pay, even it it is way higher than the current bid. That way, i have no regrets about it later.

Yeah, I'd try it myself but eBay apparently look down on that sort of thing. I think they're probably referring to these computer 'snipers', which automatically jack your bid up at the very last second. Some kind of program or something, I dunno.

Yahoo Japan Auctions give sellers the option to automatically extend an auction if there's a snipe bid in the closing minutes.Gaff wrote:Yeah, I'd try it myself but eBay apparently look down on that sort of thing.
