I'm frustrated. For the past several days, I've been trying to buy a Stanley #59 Doweling Jig on eBay and I seem to get beat out at the last minute each time, even though I'm using the bidding engine they provide (I may be leading a bid and have $8-10 more in my maximum bid limit), but somebody gets in with final 10 seconds-to-go bid to out bid me.
Thanks to mshel, I know not to bid on the newer "pot metal" versions and I'm willing to spend up to $45. There is one that closes tonight around 7:30 PM and I placed a $39.99 bid and was immediately beat at $40.00 (and I thought there was a minimum of $1.00 higher bid requirement :eusa_thin ). I'm going to rebid at $45 max, because that is as much as I'll spend for one of these jigs (needed to repair some antique chairs).
Any bidding strategies you may be able to share will be appreciated -- better yet, anyone got a Stanley #59 Doweling Jig they want to part with?
