Sorry James. Looking at the bids, the winner was a sniper. There were no bids from him earlier in the bidding, so he was just sitting in the shadows waiting to pounce at the last second.

(I have to admit that's how I bid also. I figure how much I'm willing to actually spend, and that's the bid i will enter. For that boat I would have bid $1007.99. My theory being that people usually bid in set amounts... $5 or $10. So anyone that bid $1000 or $1005 would lose to me. I also never enter a bid until there are only 3 seconds left in the bidding. I have the amount already entered, I just don't click the enter key until 3 seconds. That way no one has time to enter a counter bid). Over the years I've bought over 700 items off ebay, and that's one of the tricks that I use to get items I want. (Most times I'll simply find what I want from a seller that offers "buy it now" and "free shipping". Bidding is risky, (but fun).

In all cases I'm sorry you didn't get the boat. I hope whoever got it finds there way to this site. I'd love to hear how the boat actually is. I suspect they got a steal.
