I think a problem with the classifieds here at the moment is that it's inundated with ads for leather jackets.

There seem to be about 20 leather jacket ads for every single one for hats – makes it very hard to find them when you're quickly scanning through.

I'd like to see the leather jackets put into their own section so that other items for sale are easier to find.


Cheers! David


Seconded

If you dont throw an initial bid on the item you risk the hat sitting there for four days with no bids and then someone swoops the hat for a lowball offer because the seller thinks it wont sell.

I've seen plenty of sellers take offers that were sent privately even when an item had multiple bids ... it often doesn't matter

Not a hat story, but an ebay story. put an initial bid on a WW2 Diary written by a man who served with my father in the pacific for two years. Should have bid the moon, woke up the next morning two days left on auction and the seller ended the auction overnight and sold to a bid that came in because he said the auction looked like it was going to go into a bidding war??? needless to say the diary went to someone who had only a tertiary interest instead of my fathers sons, and he was actually mentioned in the diary!!

Another reason to throw an early bid on an item is to get in the queue so at the end of auction all you have to do is update a max bid

Top bid: Rick, who outbid...
Moon, who outbid...
Me.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.
in all honesty the entire 15 seconds that I was the high bidder in the last 30 seconds I was praying to be outbid

I have a problem not bidding

not saying I didn't want the hat ... it is awesome ... just still recovering from the Standard and Flagship purchases

I'm in the unenviable position of needing to cut my collection about in half and was thinking about posting them all up here, but they are mostly size 7 lids. Is eBay the way to go gents?
