I had the same issue with another item maybe got done by the rapper 50 cent , mother fux...er! 

That was me, Sorry Derrick.
If it makes you feel any better my bid was $81USD.
I hate bidding too early on an auction, it just feels like it drives the prices up if a bid is placed too early.
 
I was after an A4 copy of the parts book, (The larger book makes it easier to scan in for if members on here are after specific parts info).
The larger print is far easier to clean up in photoshop because any blemishes don't take up too much of the pics or part numbers.
 
I'll give you my current parts book for free once the big one arrives at my end.
 
Sorry again Derrick.

Haha well that's ok I'm ok with that and I can't get mad at you for everything u have given me. I also could not aford it

Is kinda funny tho I bid 20 bucks on it and watches it from 10 mins and as it want to 1 sec I got an email and it reloaded and came up in green saying I did not win I was like wtf 50 cents. All is good tho I'll put the money towards that shipment

I have one in .pdf format that I downloaded and saved when the link came up on datsun1200.com.  Unfortunately the link no longer exists, but if someone can assist with me uploading it here, I be happy to do it.

It's 23.4MB Ash.

Thanks to DatsAmore, we now have the parts manual in the Download section...
 

I agree that sniper bidding is something that feels wrong if it happens to you.
It has happened to me many times over, and im sure it will happen to me again.
 
But the simple fact is we all know the way ebay works and we all have the oportunity to place a bid for the maximun we want to spend.
I think sniper bidding actualy works in favor of the buyer, it eliminates the auctions ability to go out of control because of ego wars.
 
The sniping problem is within the way ebay operates, (Set ending time)
 
If it was run like yahoo or i believe grays also do time extionions to stop this from happening, then everyone would have the freedom to bid again and drive the price up even further making our cars even more expensive in the long run.
this system also creates new dirty tactics, like waiting untill the end of the auction time before increasing the bid to extend the auction time in an attempt to wait the other bidder out.
 
Each system has it's ups and downs, we just have to work within the rules we are given.
 
 
If you have a specific part you want,you can show your intrest within the ebay, yahoo section and hopefuly convince others to let you bid on it without their competition.
this method has worked on here before letting someone buy a part for starting bid,
 
Here is an example of it working for thou ute, he ended up buying new lenses for the starting bid price when he was otherwise going to be bidding against me.
