Default GRRRR ebay sniped again!

just let a set of works shocks go for a STUPIDLY low price

I thought I had upped my max a while back and the bids stayed the same until less than 30 seconds left.I realized I hadn't upped it but didn't have time to do so

a set of works shocks sold for $99 plus shipping.

****.

I meant to do the "place max bid early" and just let it ride. I would have won.

as for sniping, there is software to do it for you. no need for all that elaborate stuff

ahahahahahah good one.

I don't want to spend money either, but I have the cheapie ultima shocks on there now, and a set of non-adjustables that I'd just combine to cover the new purchase and sell real cheap, just to cover what I put out.

oh well...

I don't do the try to get in one last bid at the last minute thing. I think it's stupid, actually. This was my mistake for not putting in a hefty bid early on. If it goes over, I'm ok cuz I didn't want to pay any more than that anyway. In this case I would have won by a long shot and still gotten a hell of a deal on a pair of $600 shocks

So are you just trying to up your post count for some unknown reason?

Works is a suspension company. They make some pretty good stuff.

No clue why you're posting in a thread about softail shocks that you don't even know what they are.
