You have to fight for them... it!!!

So....

I have been in a bidding war on several sites for pens that I have wanted for a bit.

And well...

If you want what you want... be prepared to fight $$$$ for it.

I love the auction game. I learn so very much from others that just get down and bid. It seems that they are always willing to share their knowledge!

I just deem them superb! And they are!!!

Search... locate... bid... and bid on!

I agree quality items often going into bidding war, but you need to pay up if you really want it.

I just got sniped on eBay for another Omas paragon. I had the high bid for about 3sec with 5 sec to go. Too much stress. I've gotten sniped twice like that on eBay pens.

Put in an offer tonight for a like new Omas Paragon maroon in rose gold trim. I hammered out a deal with the seller and came to an agreement that was pretty fair on eBay. This is going to be a really beautiful pen! Can't wait for it to arrive!! I'm really digging this make an offer feature. It's worked out well for me so far.

Congratulations!!!

In the last week or two I have underbid auctions on Ebay about 60% and have been very pleasantly surprised at the results!!

It is truly amazing guys that if you will just make an offer whether or not that is an option on the auction (IOW... PM them.) that many of the sellers will accept.

My best transaction was an Montblanc auction for a LE set at $1800.00 that I offered $1200.00 for and the seller approved. I should have offered less and will in the future.

Do it!!!
