Hehehe, reminds me of two snipes I once did -
When I was new to bid software, I saw an awe64 on ebay, so I entered an insane snipe amount of $123.45 - I just picked that amount out of thin air, not really thinking. Didn't think anyone else would bid on it, let alone a lot of money. Woke up next morning, nearly had a heart attack - I won! 😳
awe64 arrived a few weeks later (international shipping was also a killer). Tore away the sealed wrapper (this was prolly the reason the bidding went nuts, the box was sealed) and found the awe64 box full of crap! Not literally of course, but full of garbage - old modem manuals, old cds, just junk really. (Some devious person must have expertly resealed the box.)
Seller wanted to see photos of this "mayhem delivery", and in the end agreed on a full refund. Phew. 😅
Other kamikazee snipe I did was - saw a 486 mobo and entered crazy amount of 88.88 euro (just liked the silly symetrical number), and woke up next morning, and found the bidding ended on 88.89 euro. I lost, but I pushed up the winner's amount by a huge amount. (I thought no one would bid more than say 20 on it.)
Bid software is good, but use with a bit of caution! 😀
