I wait til the last 5 minutes ~ PUT in your highest bid ~ wait til their is 20 secs left if you r were outbid & bump it up another dollar or two. I know evil ~ Usually keeps the auction price down two. Because they think know one else is interested. I am a sneaky silent last second bidder.

I find I win if I wait until the last 15 to 30 SECONDS, and then throw in a bid for the absolute most I would want to pay. That way, by the time everyone else's computer refreshes, it's too late. The bad thing about that is if someone has put in a max. bid higher than mine, I don't have time to raise. That's why it is important to put in your "ABSOLUTE HIGH" so you aren't kicking yourself later. If they go for more than that, at least you made someone else pay more.

Of course, every once in a while, my computer "freezes" and I don't get that last bid in.

Win some, loose some.

Oh well, they will probably run another add next week, especially if they got a really good price.

I always take pics of an auction & "touch up" the pics to the right lighting & exposure. (IF ANYONE wants me to check out pics of birds I would be happy to)

Because there are alot of people who do not know how to take quality pics of their birds. Especially when you are selling something. Not for personal use or forms so much. I am going to take pics of the turkey parents I just hatched on our next sunny ish day.

I definately would buy from WHF again because of the quaility of the chicks I hatched from them, and how nice they were to talk with, helpful, fast responses, and packed eggs really well. They threw in 2 extras, I hatched 11 out 14 eggs on one auction, and I got 4 extras on the second auction & hatched 10. But I lost 3 chicks for some reason in the first couple days. But they did hatch. So I know it was only two auctions, but to me customer service is something that can't be beat.

I may have got my "other eggs" cheaper for $27 bucks ~ bad customer service, and out $27 bucks, would have rather put that towards a reputable breeder

I like the Legbars.

Got my fingers crossed for your hatch, Julie!!!!

Very interesting about the photo/colour thing, JZ. Thanks!! Those comparison photos are very helpful. I wish I could get you to take photos of my ducks.... You are so talented.

you need to use auctionsniper. I have won lots of stuff off of ebay using it. You put in the higjest amount you will bid, and tell it when you want it to bid, I always but in 3 seconds from bid closing. Then it will put in your highest bid when you tell it and 9 times out of 10 you will win the bid. If the other bidders highest bid is $15 and you put in $20, it will only take the amount needed to win the bid. So if they bid $15, you had $20 as highest bid, your actual highest bid would be $15.01. it works, i have won over 50 show shirts for my granddaughter.
