who's outbidding you?

That's why people who know what they want tend to bid high, many just bid really high and walk away. I bid high and usually win, but there are a few items I've missed mainly to three people in JP. And a couple of the times it was due to fracking technical difficulties on my end. Otherwise those respective items would've been mine already. Pity some of the people I've been losing too are blackhole collectors.

i actually have a question...
if it is a user name other than rinkya or something like that, how can you tell if it is a japanese collector or not? I know from rinkya you can get your own name...


im just hoping this seller on YJ doesnt bid too hard on alot of these cels... o_o im counting down to the penny how much i can spend.. hahaha

Unless it's someone who has a premium account with Celga, you can generally tell if another deputy service is going up against you. Most deputy services use some sort of combination of their company name for their ID. Back when SMJ was Animechaos, they used "animechaos_com" as user ID.

IDs change all the time, but they generally remain pretty close to what the company name is. I find that when an ID gets too many feedback points that it generally is dropped for a new one.

and don't you all hate that when the auction is about to end and you're the highest bidder, the 10 minutes extension shows up? (usually that means Im going to loose because the extensions can go on and on)

Ive never had the 10 minute extension happen to me before... but there have been two similar cels posted on yahoo japan, the first one i missed becuase i couldnt afford it at the time, the second one i gave the deputy service the WRONG LINK... lol i was so upset in the morning... hahaha Now i double check EVERYTHING. u_u lol
