Have you not tried Bidnapper - it is awesome 8) - I can introduce you if that would be useful?
Wasn't me either, but to be serious Bidnapper and the like saves you sitting over the keyboard and removes some of the emotion (and the fact that you are in the auction race at all - he he he )D3 - 2008.5MY HSE, Stornaway Grey, RSE etc - all the toys

hmmm but can you guarantee you will ALWAYS win with a sniper (like Bidnapper) ?
I've used Gixen in the past - didn't always work
Missed out on RAI, Ladder and Spots today on Fleabay - did any of you lot outbid me with 3 seconds to go at 4.00pm today.....?!
Well I had a bid out on a ladder - the same guy also had an RAI on offer as well...same item...? (And I didn't win it either as evidenced by no posts in the Courier section )The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...
Club "yes, I too have had the EGR's replaced..."
Club "yes, I too have had the compressor replaced..."
Club "yes, I too once had the car at the dealer for a couple of weeksnearly 4 weeksover 4 weeks...5 weeks"
Club "yes, I too have had EPB failure..."
Club "yes, I too get mysterious bings and bongs..."
