Its a crying shame to loose a auction. But its even worse to loose it in the last 20 seconds. Anybody know were i can get a toploader 4 speed for a small block mustang.
If you're going to shop ebay, you'd be better off joining the "sniper" team Sniping= good for the buyer, ( keeps the price down) Bad for the seller. I NEVER bid till the last minute. Why bid and let some newbie bid up the price against you ? Yea, it hurts to loose something that way, but get on the bandwagon and fight back One thing to remember about ebay: if you loose something, there's ALWAYS going to be another just like it listed ( eventually) you just have to be patient and make sure to be online when the auction ends. Another tip : do a search for "Ford Transmission" and keep it in your favorite searches. One of the Toploaders I bought was thru ebay. The seller listed it as an SROD from a 79 Stang. It wasn't, turned out to be a wide ratio Toploader from an earlier Stang, included the flywheel (told him to keep that I don't trust used 30 year old flywheels) the bellhousing (that WAS from a 79 Stang, sold it back on ebay for $85, too deep for a Toploader anyway, but works with a Tremec 3550) and the shifter ( Hurst Comp + ) All that for the "BUY IT NOW" price of $150 With the shipping cost ( $80) and minus the selling price of the bell I sold, it cost me only $145. It's been in my 89 V8 Ranger since. And don't be afraid to buy one that needs repairs. You can fix them yourself, tear down and assembly is realatively simple with the right instructions and there's no special tools needed. I've done three so far.

AMEN brother !!Edbert said:It just sttrikes me as wrong to give your logon name and password to ANYONE. and place the highest price you are willing to pay when there's 7-10 seconds left. If you loose it it just means someone was willing to pay more than your highest price, they can have it then.
Never ever bid before the last 30 seconds...EVAR!
