Ebay should implement some sort of "wobbly end time" that says "might end anywhere between Here and Here" with that range being over about 4 hours. Because I won't bid on anything without using a service like ezsniper to place my bid at the last second. It's no fun at all to watch an auction, put in a bid, think you're going to win and then in the last 5 seconds 12 more bids come in and take the auction. If the end time were fuzzy it would put the fun back in. Or at least if there's a bid placed in the last, say, 10 minutes, the auction gets extended by an hour, so if you're checking and get sniped, you can respond if you want.

I said congratulations already! COME ON!

I believe, based on things that have happened to me, that a great deal of the activity on ebay occurs in the final 60 minutes of the product's availability period. Congratulations!

I hadn't sold anything on ebay for a few years, so didn't know what to expect. Now that I've opened the door, I think I'll get some of my junk formerly prized possessions sold off.

Holy Cow Jrz, you were right! This morning there wasn't a single bid. An hour and 15 min to go, and the bids are up to $300!

In my experience, the majority of bidding on eBay (even the opening bid) takes place in the last hour of each auction. Congrats!

Cool! Curious.How much were the fees?.

Ebay was $29.25, and the USPS Priority Mail shipping was $11.10.

My goal was to cover the $266 a$$hole tax for terminating the Sprint contract, so mission accomplished.

these phones are usually bought and resold overseas.

Yep....you can get them as an upgrade when you renew your contract with AT&T for 99 bucks.
EDIT $199.00 sorry about that.

iPhone 4S

Listing's been up for 5 days and no bids. Tons of competition. Am I asking to much for the minimum bid?

Is it un locked?

they sell at the last minute. if it doesn't sell, list again and drop the starting price a bit. I would go $225.
I started our 2 iphone 4 at $199. they sold for $218 and $232.

Excellent advice. Thanks!
