I have tried many times to buy amps off of Ebay and I always lose in the last 5 seconds, but not this time, got me a Polk sign!

    Congrats!

    I hear you, I am tired of waiting till the last minute and got sniped. I bought from Ebay very rarely, less than 10 transactions per year, so the cost of sniper software doesn't justify its purchase. I am almost solely depends on BIN lately, since I don't have the patience to waste my time (not to mention getting PO at the end).
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Nice. What's the construction material of that signage? Glass? Metal?

    You can try auctionsniper free. I believe they give you three free ones. The person who refers you gets 3 free snipes also.

    OOOOOO,

    That means my ORIGINAL clear plexiglass Carver (Powerful, Musical, Accurate) sign will go through the roof if I auction it.

    Good to know.
