That being said, there's been a pretty noticeable uptick in ""OMG look what I found at a thrift store!"" posts recently and that does nobody on this subreddit any good. I've found some of the best deals through it, and this subreddit exists, at least I believe it exists, to help people find good deals on fashion.

Any way we could do something similar here? I don't want to make a bunch more work for the mods or anything, but since I visit this subreddit a few times a week, it would be nice to just glance at the deals.Įither that, or what is a better website I can frequent that only lists deals?",False,self,t5_2s8e9,False,True,t3_1923ml,ġ351142346.0,507,ugalmalefashion,121vh1, Can we please stop posting or can mods delete threads on thrifting finds?,682,175,71,"Hi FMF, At the time of me posting this, the front page (25 topics) has two Groupon deals, three actual deals (although limited, but I know things don't go on sale every day), and 20 topics asking for help.Īnother subreddit I frequent, /r/nba, puts all gamethreads in green.

Just set a snipe for your one and only final price, then walk away - don't check up on the auction, don't change your snipe price, don't do anything. In my view, sniping actually fixes the flaws that come up when humans bid on eBay. This is intentionally made worse by eBay sending notifications whenever you're outbid and other tricks. The issue is that humans aren't rational, and they get emotionally invested in the specific auction and make our decisions based on sunk cost and FOMO. This means that for rational actors, the best strategy would be to always bid exactly as much as they value the item (make their first and only offer for as much as they're willing to pay), since they will pay only as much as others value that item. PPS(edit): I wasn't bidding on this item btw, just popped by to drop this comment and my $0.02 on sniping for anyone reading.Ĭlick to expand.Just since the subject of sniping came up, I wanted to add my two cents.Īn ideal auction is one that guarantees that the highest bidder will win, and they'll pay the correct price, meaning that they'll pay a price that captures the market rate in some fair way.Įbay uses second-bid auctions, which is a great auction mechanism in theory - bidders make their bids, highest bidder wins, but only pays a single increment over the second-highest bid. Don't know much about others but it's free and straight-forward to use (copy/pasta the auction ID# and put in your desired max bid and it does the rest). PS I've been using a web app called "Gixen" for it, for the past year or two. It seems that most serious eBayers use them, and while I don't consider myself an eBay expert or fanatic by any means, I really was sick of it happening. The conclusion I came to after getting sick of losing auctions where I was placing an honest decent bid is thatĪ.) eBay allows sniping automation tools ī.) however I feel about it, I guess if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. The psychology of bidding does indeed seem to artificially inflate the price, so if you're a deal hunter (well, you're in this forum aren't you? hehe.) I would argue you should get on board the snipe-wagon if you haven't already.
