It works best on less active auctions. If there are 2 or more bidders pushing up the bid, it doesn't make much difference. Sellers can protect themselves with minimum opening bids and "reserves".
Hope you get you CD decks.

bidding your max price early allows the price to escalate early assuming at least one other person does the same. yes it's true that unless sniped you have a good idea at the end of the auction whether or not you're getting it, but you're also much more likely to pay more for it.
the best way is to put in a low amount, but currently high bid early to get your name on the bid list so the seller sees you are interested early and not a last-minute punk who may not follow through. then at the last minute, assuming you are still interested in the item at its current rate, open multiple new bid windows and put increasing amounts in each of them. for example if it's $150 currently and you'll pay up to $203 (another tip, don't use round numbers) then you might open 6 additional windows going $158, $167, $176, $188, $195, $203. then in the final 30 seconds of the auction, click submit on each of these a few seconds apart starting with the lowest. this makes being counter-sniped very difficult! :-D
of course if the other guy is simply willing to pay more than you and they go high early enough you'll still loose, but *that* is what eBay is all about.
I agree with mike though, shills and shielding are obviously wrong. I can't see how sniping is really wrong, it is totally different.

I'll try to take pics of the swap. First I've got to get/borrow a camera which means I won't be doing it this weekend
Well, guess I'll just wash the 2000 RS rims that I picked up this evening from a young lad. Oooh his Black WRX wagon looked soooo gooood :drooling:
-Dave

Are you keeping a photo album of your WRX just for keepsake, like, to show how it became Stephen Transformed i?

Nice grille -- I like it. What would the Modifications topic be without your weekly updates? ;-)
No before and after pictures so we can see the intricate changes?
Ken
Juice,
let us know how your wife's car looks with whatever tint you go with. It would be great to see pictures, too
Christina
I believe it was me.
juice was considering going with the metalic tint, and I thought the mirror look would look strange with wintergreen. I could be wrong, but my imagination couldn't see the high contrast of the metalic look against the pastel like colour of the wintergreen going together.

Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification.
Those plastic thingie, IIR I think Ed (lark6) mentioned about it (many many post ago) and I think too that they're UK.
-Dave
Yes, I got me a set of the 6 spoke 16x7 RS wheels
-Dave

You actually went through those thousands?
I don't think I have your patience
What was the site anyway?
-Dave
Surprising the options they offer in the UK. A nifty interior light, stainless interior door sill trim, stainless rear bumper cover, headlight covers to mention a few. I'll post if I get a response from the dealer I contacted.

I lost the 2nd auction too, but the guy bid on Friday and it closed on Sunday. I went to check but I missed the deadline by an hour, DOH!
But I followed that lead to i Club and asked the seller to e-mail me. I told him I'd pay what the winning bidder on eBay paid for the one I lost ($167.50), though I prefer someone local because shipping adds another $15.
Any how, it seems they are common, so I'm not that worried. Thanks all.

One way to find out is to get a piece of scrap film from a tinter, wrap it around your radar detector and see if it changes anything. Most tint places have lots of scrap film so they should be more than happy to provide you with some samples.

just e-mailed him your info.
Anyone interested in a RS muffler?
He's selling that too.

Fingers are crossed.

It's Excel Motors in Houston, TX, the number is (281) 597-1900. His name is Farah (SP?), and he co-owns the place with his brother. Tell him AJ sent you. My wife is his wife's cousin.
I thought it was cool that he offered a free warranty as long as you finance with him, so check it out. He said Isuzus tended to be reliable (the only way he profits at all) so he'd probably be willing to even search for one for you.

The sound quality is definitely different. Even my GF noted that the songs she usually listens to sounded different. The best I could describe is dull and lacking body with volume up to 5. At 6, there's an almost sudden increase in volume and at 7, it's about pretty loud by then, is when the sounds come alive. High end is crisp and bass firm, if you could tolerate listening at that level. Overall the sound is still somewhat flat. Guess the absence of Mid-Range control has something to do with it...maybe the unit don't quite match the speakers. Oh, I've got 8 OEM speakers which came with the model which includes 2 front tweeter and 2 aft by the tailgate.
I'll wait awhile before entertaining the subwoofer route or weigh my other options.

Yes tires partially account for the OB ride height, but the main thing is that the spring perches on OB struts are mounted higher than on normal Legacy and Impreza struts; a bespoke component just for the Outback, I'm afraid. Swapping your struts out for KYB AGX or other aftermarket struts will drop the car a good 2", cause the tires to rub against the springs, and result in damaging changes in camber.
Your only solution is better tires or a plus 1 wheel/tire upgrade.
Now I'll print out the hints above and hope for the best. I may not get to it this weekend though, since we'll be out of town.

You guys care to re-post them or point me to them? I need tips on basically taking the center console apart in a 2000+ Legacy/Outback.

Turns out he works at Best Buy in the stereo section. He had an XM radio put in, pretty cool.
Why don't you buy that one from the link above, Jim? I may want a 2nd one but I'll search for another local guy, there are lots of active i Club members in this area.
