However, I do
like the "Buy it Now" option that a lot of sellers seem to be
including. It has it's faults too but at least it's clear about what it's
for, compared to the normal ebay auction which is designed to be abused by
sniping.
This is probably one of the best things eBay as added to their auction
mechanism. A chance to just pay what the seller really wants for it and
be done with it. No sniping, no worrying about being overbid.
Yep, me too. I just picked up a 50MHz Daystar '030 with FPU card for my
IIci running NetBSD for $35 that way. Had I waited to bid it out, I would
have probably paid at least $50.
