Have put pram on starting at 99p - now I'm shi**ing myself!

[LadyMetroland]

Not sure if I've made a grave error here. Have put almost new P&T pram on starting at 99p to encourage bidders, week long listing. Bidding is only up to 16 quid so far!!! 3 more days to go. Aaaargh! Can I do anything? Am I complete muppet??

I have nearly 2000 feedback (100% positive) and I've been buying since 2002 so pretty experienced these days. I know the market and watch things like a hawk. Sniping is good because you can set a maximum and not go over it, no fear of getting carried away. Well done on £305 that's a good price.

I am an awesome sniper too but (as a buyer) get very pissed off with the amateurs who start bidding each other up with about 30 mins to go

Yeah me too. Dicks.

Sniping is fairer IMO because you all set a limit.

Sorry, whats sniping? I have no idea what that means but sounds like fun ;-)

If you would be really pissed off if it went for less than £50 then don't start at 99p with no reserve.

Equally, if you put in £20 and someone else puts in £20.01 they are not a cheapskate, they are just cannier than you.

Don't bitch or whine when people play by the rules (the rules that you are perfectly aware of) and things don't go your way.
