seems to be enough on there for us all to put a single bid in - as long as you are patient ;)

Cheers Scanker!

Try 'sniping' instead of showing interest by bidding and then getting into a bidding war with someone and forcing the price up.

You decide what you'd be willing to pay and the software will enter the lowest bid at the last minute before then end of the auction.

I've used www.cheapsnipes.com to successfully win a few items. I'm pretty sure you get 3 free goes, after that it's a paid for service. You have to sign in with your ebay user name and password but it all seems quite respectible.

they seem to be putting them up quite regularly. so if everyone is patient then every one can have cheap billies.

I placed a bid on item #8770278005 (12cm one).
Must say I'm happy to see the BCUK attitude on that e-bay page aswell!! :You_Rock_ Most billies only got 1 bid; so as said, so if everyone is patient, we are well stocked before spring starts :D

Off to class now :(

Top Tip here.

I was outbid on two billys (only bid the starting price), BUT I was given a second chance offer by cookshop on them at the opening price - bargain!

Same as on a billy and kettle. They even came with their orignal price stickers on, and they are either trying to get rid of old stock...put a huge mark up on them....or losing money. :confused:
