Auctions, how competitive are you?

[Pampered Chicken]

I don't really like the auctions because I am not competitive at all.

same here, I prefer a set price. I find the price of things too often gets inflated in auctions.

If I want it, I get it.I keep bidding, and bidding, and bidding, even on stuff like pheasants and peacocks

I can't stand it when someone comes and starts bidding halfway through.....

I set a limit, if it is a breed I really want I go straight for birds, but I dont think I have ever gotten upset over an egg auction, or bird one for that matter. I get more upset seeing bad sellers getting huge prices and bids when I know they are not reputable and great beeders who may not have as much time to take pretty pics (or steal from others

) that dont get the price that they should.

if someone wants to lurk and deliver the death blow with five seconds to go... hey, more power to you if you can make time to watch the auction to the end. The probably save themselves a few dollars that way.

Usually I don't care much for auctions - I like knowing I can buy something and stick with that. But if there's something like TOLBUNT POLISH EGGS - Ooooh I am SO competitive. . . Until I just can't bid anymore because the price shot through the roof.

That was an exciting one wasn't it? I got stuck in some weird BYC page loop where I couldn't get back to the auction page. I think it was the Lord's way of reminding me to stay on task with orpingtons and not get distracted by lovely lawn art! It will be interesting to see the result of that hatch though.

It was indeed exciting.

I would've bid higher if it were not the fact that I only had so much money on me at the time, and was being paid on Tuesday, not the day the money would be due.

But, they're only test eggs. . . . . . . Test eggs that I could've had at least two pop out of. A boy and a girl.

I'm Very competitive, if I want it and have the means, it's mine! But I won't go getting snarky with someone over it. I REALLY like bargains better, if I get it for less, and had to hunt for the bargain, OH LORD is that ssooo good in my book. I'll be tooting the horn on that for awhile! I'm planning my first auction on here as we speak, so let'd see how that goes!
