So you see an item that you want,and that no-one else seems interested in.Is it okay to wait till the auction ends and then email them offering them a lower price than the reserve or minimum bid?

Paul- It happens all the time. Rest assured if you don't, somebody will.

As for if it's ethical, well, not strictly no, but eBay will have had the guys listing fees once anyway.

Anyone succeeded in getting a better price this way?

Tiggs

yes

No reason why you shouldn't try it Paul.

do it all the time,and nearly everytime get a deal

But.............the real bargains are in the small ads.eg if you want some HIFI equipmnt,read the small ads in the back of the mags and phone and make an offer,it WILL be considerably cheaper than Ebay.

Ebay is no longer a place for bargains unless the product is an unknown brand.Check out BOSE,no on with ears that work would buy the,but they attract zillions of bids on EBay

its madness now,buy private and save a fortune

paulr

True,and the "fashionable"stuff attracts v.good prices.
But,ebay is very east to use and search,looking through the ads is time consuming.
