Ebay auction and bidding wars

Tweet

Thanks to ebay and a coupld of little tricks I figured out I was able to get my husband a saxophone for christmas. He has always talked about wanting one he use to play when he was in school and was really good at it. He talked about getting one some day so he play in the band at church. Well one day right before christmas I ventured onto ebay I searched all thruogh the musical insturments section of ebay found a couple that looked really nice and bidded on them first I got outbided and it ended up going way out of my price range that I could afford. So I sat there on ebay and watched for awhile and I searched again for alto saxophones in ebay found some more but this time I paid attention to the amount of time the auction was held for and I paid particular attention to those that had no bids or only one bid I put those on my watch list and keep an eye on them and I waited till the last 15 minutes and started the biding. No one out bid me and I won it. When he got his instrument it was better than I had hope for he is so happy. Everyone at church keeps asking me how I got his saxophone and my violin for under $100 I explained it to them and they are so surprised. My violin was in auction as well but with the buy now option and that price was within my budge so I chose that option for my violin. Some items depending on what they are if you can afford the buy it now option and dont want to wait out the auction time then you can do that. However this reminds me of the old wise saying that patience is a viture and in this case it certainly is and certainly paid off. I got both of my items for under $100 oh and I got free shipping too so that really help save money. Yes I think it's safe to say I will return to ebay lol.
