If you loose alot of items on ebay its because ur bidding skills are somewhat pathetic wait till they are like 20 secs left and make ur absolute top bid u are willing to make for that particular item. That way ppl dont have time to respond. If you make early bids ppl usually keep making bets after loosing the first one to your max price and so on to the next bidder. 2 Years ago I bought a futaba pck radio brand new purchased from tower hobbies and sold with 10 months of warranty left for $105.00. You can`t beat that period.
