I really hate it that I have the high bid on this DC Direct Metal Men 7 Piece PVC Figure Set and then someone logs on 25 minutes before it ends and beats my bid by only 50 cents.
A few years back I was talking with someone about how to really make eBay a true auction system. I mean, in a REAL auction, the auction ends when the person who is willing to pay the most doesn’t get outbid. So why not have the auction reach its conclusion and then give everyone who was outbid 24 hours to place any additional bids? It would get rid of these last-minute fiends who force you to sit by your computer hovering over the item you want until the clock expires. Not that they couldn’t bid, but they wouldn’t always succeed in swiping my Metal Men PVC set for a measly 50 cents’ difference.
Anyone have a lead on where I can get the Metal Men PVC set for less than the $39.95 price? Let me know on the forum!
