Another Ebay sniper masterpiece!!!

Just won another auction on Ebay.. This time for a set of 4 Centerline Auto Drag rims... Those are approx. $140 each new... I paid $222.50 for all 4...
I will polish them and use them instead of my Cragar SS's as my regular rims and sell the Cragars!!

Check the timing!! I bid 2 :eek: seconds before auction end!!!

T-T-T-Timing is everything! :cheers:
I had a set of them on my Camaro back in the 80's. I had the car repainted and the blue center cap matched the paint perfectly. I LOVED that car. :sad:

I didn't find another word that would describe my action..... Maybe I should have named the thread: Won Ebay auction 2 seconds before it ended.... but this sounds kind of lame...

Believe it or not, I've been outbid in the last few seconds! I have DSL and do it manually, but some have software (do YOU have it by any chance?)

I think car stereos and electronics are the most notorious for this kind of last minute bidding stuff...

I hope this works out for you. I am usually a little leery of buying from a first time seller, and even more suspicious when he only has a history of 2 tranactions.
