Theoretically, this could go on forever!
Gives all a chance though.
A couple of other points to watch out for on GB.
Make sure you find out IN ADVANCE what the shipping charges are going to be. Lots of sellers say "buyer pays actual shipping" but don't say how much. Depending on the method THEY choose to ship, could mean tens of dollars difference in shipping.
Also pm seller with ANY questions BEFORE BIDDING! A bid is a binding contract on GB and they take them SERIOUSLY! Three "non-paying bids" gets you banned from the site.
One last piece of advice, CHECK ALL SELLERS FEEDBACK! Click on the feedback number beside their user name, and it will bring up a record of their feedback, telling you what others think of them. It will also show you the date they joined GB.
Great advice!
