I only roll with the buy it now. I hate the whole bidding nonsense.

Me too. I've never actually bid on anything haha. Buy it now is where it's at.

Ebay is a pretty good place to get lab equipment/test equipment.

Oddball stuff pops up on there occasionally too like some particular solenoid valves, etc...

So true...a lot of my Olympic/World Cup soccer collection has come from all around the world.

^ Okay, while I understand it is an available option to snipe someone on eBay, I'm not going to do it.

I never really use foul language, and when I was sniped yesterday, I dropped the F-bomb. That's how upset I was (yeah...I know...it's the internets). I know we live in a market economy where bidding is king, but I was upset. And maybe my paradigm is a bit off, but I try to live by the Golden Rule (Do unto others as you would have them do unto you), and just because someone has done it to me doesn't mean I want to do it to another.

In the end, I found and won a similar item. I will end up paying $2.48 cents more than the person who sniped me, and feel better knowing I didn't snipe someone else.

[steps down from soapbox]

On a similar note, I should not spend as much time on eBay as I did yesterday. There are so many cool things to get.
