| For those who use Ebay (And other shopping sites like Amazon), do you enter bids in auctions or do you just prefer to buy what you want right away? |

| But It Now listings. Yahoo Auctions is the only auctions site I've used and I honesty have it when there is no "buy now" option, waiting till the end time to snipe bid is usually a bother and there's no guarantee that you'll win it. If it's available directly for sale then I'll definitely prefer it as long as the price isn't much different. |
| Buy. I've never really liked the concept of bidding in auctions. Not to mention how easily this can be manipulated online. |
| Buy it now usually. Only ever done auction once, when I bought all the Zombiepowder volumes. Nobody else bid anything so it was basically the same thing. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| For buying, the buy it now option is convenient. For selling, auctions can be great because sometimes you end up getting more than you expected. |
 |
| No, I prefer to just buy the product on its own. |

| I pretty much never touch auctions anymore. Most of them are faked- i.e. the owner has a 2nd account that they will just outbid you and try to run it up, and yes this is all over the place so I just do BIN listings and a lot of them have the ability to offer a lower price. They always counter lol... so much greed for every buck. But it's okay, if I decided I wanted something I don't mind paying some price that's what they want, if it's a couple bucks below listed that's not a problem. But if I bid on something, and get outbid, see ya. And guess what, mysteriously they come back after it closes and ask me if I want it at this price (the price they outbid me with) and I'm like, nope- the price I bid at or go piss off. |
| I've gotten many, many things from online auctions below MSRP, even a little dopamine rush. I feel like the people who "buy" at listing prices are the kind of pigeons who overpay for something from the grubby hands of a scalper instead of playing the waiting game. |
