I bid on them day one... They were listed on PPBB.com - he wanted $650 for the pair, and offered to throw in shipping to me. But I didn't want to go over $450. Bogg - you beat me out!...

No haters here. I went in with a pretty low max bet that I didn't want to exceed. Glad to hear someone on the forum got them. Now I'll just have to start the search again...

Thanks. I love my headlights black, but if I ever want to sell the car id be hard pressed to find someone who wanted them that way. I love the taillights too much to switch to clears though. It just makes the lines flow easier than the clear or oranges tails.

Guess I'm a little confused, cause I don't see how it really matters.

I put in what my max is - and it bids up $5 over anyone's new bid - unless, that is, someone wants to pay more then my max. Of which I wouldn't bid over anyhow - cause that's the max I wanted to spend.

If I won at or below my price, then great. But it isn't like I'm causing the bid amount to grow earlier then it would otherwise....

Very true, but when the bid get within its estimated final price a day before it ends, it makes people think... hmmm, only 5 more dollars and I could have it. Instead of a final last ditch high bid at the end where people underestimate it all and you get it for cheaper. Probably not much cheaper, but its all psychological.
