Go up one level in this thread


There are Six kinds of E-Bay bidders:

1: The “One” bidder. This bidder puts his max bid in at the beginning never
rebids and coolly waits to see if he has won.

2: The “Must be in front bidder”. This type of bidder puts in a small bid until
he is on top. As soon as he is out bid he goes back in to top up his bid until
he reaches his maximum.

3: The “Impulse bidder”. This bidder places his maximum right off but then
changes his mind when out bid.

4: The “Sniper”. This bidder holds off right until the end and then places his
maximum bid.

5: The “Sniper with recce”. This bidder places a bid early on to show his
interest and then places his maximum bid right at the end.

6: The “Combo bidder”. This bidder may act a bit like the “Must be in front
bidder” and the “Impulse bidder” but may also Snipe right at the end.


Bidding regards
