Chris, ebay has become the breeding grounds for the sneakiest bunch or bottom feeding last minute bidding b@stards that are on the planet. That being said, you have to join them if you are going to beat them. Basically you have to lower yourself to their behavior and be better at it than they are. If I bid ahead of time on 10 items I will not get 9 out of 10 because nobody will bid on it all week and somebody will take it in the last 10 seconds and outbid you by a dollar or two. If I can't be home now at the end of an auction I won't bother bidding anymore. I was bidding on a ditch witch one day and it went through the week before with no bids at $5000. Next week it was listed for $4500 and I couldn't be there for the end so I put a bid of $5100.So the bid sat there all week at the opening of $4500. Of course a lowlife came along in the last ten seconds and bid $4600 but he was still the low bidder. So he quickly came in again and bid$4900 and was still outbid. Now the dumb%ss was in a panic so he put in a bid of $5100 which was my highest bid. Since I bid $5100 before him I got the trencher. When I looked at the bid history I never laughed so hard in my life. I thought, finally one of these A holes gets paid back for the millions that don't. And the trencher is a jewel. I would rather use the buy it now feature on ebay but if I want something really bad I wait till the end and drill them with a high bid and usually win. Just had to do it on some snowmobile cylinders the other day. I have dial up but I have it figured out because I know how long it takes to send in my bid for the most part. Just have the old watch ready. Good luck if you do it. It's about like mad max from thunderdome on there. Just make sure you are mad max and not one of the bottom feeders!

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
