I have to say I'm a sniper myself - dont bid until the last 15 seconds. Its dangerous but it makes it that much more fun. Sorry about the mixPre though, wouldnt mind having one myself...

Just kidding, but I have been known to snipe. :evil:

Not nice...As for the 302, I know I won't need three channels, ever. I just don't have the gear to support three channels and won't be investing more in mics.

The trick with ebay is to put in your maximum bid. If someone outbids you at the last minute then that's OK 'cause you weren't prepared to pay that amount for it anyway. If you say, well it was only a few dollars more and I would have paid that, then you should have put that amount in from the start. Besides they did you a favor. Get the SD302 instead.

Here you go

no snipping and you can buy it now. Their description of item condition is very pessimistic. The condition is better than what they specified.

Dude that's how to bid on eBay. I put in my bid with about 5 seconds to go.

Exactly my thinking, ozduc. I would also add that just bidding my 'best price' helps me resist that competitive urge to bid just a bit more just to win the auction.

Early bidder drive up the price.

Early bidder drive up the price.

Thats right! The only thing that early bidding does is drive up the price.
