There are two Bowman loco auctions that finish today.
Icant afford to win them both but I want to win one which means I have to stay up until the first one finishes and if I dont win that bid on second one.
If we didnt have stupid daylight savings I would only need to stay up to 1:15am but now need to stay up to 2:15am.

For those not living in Western Australia there have been 3 referendums and 2 forced trails of daylight savings and each referendum has said we dont want it but a few weeks ago our state government decided for the next 3 years we would have daylight savings in summer and after that get to have another vote.

Incase you havent guessed I'm one of the majority in WA that doesnt want daylight savings.

Seen them but don't like having to give out my password.
That would help me place a timely bid on the first auction but if I dont win I then need to place a bid on the second auction and dont think esnipe can do that.

Thanks though

Yeh, bid groups. Once you win one item of the group it won't bid anymore. We have used them for more than a year straight and never given us any problems.

Although the signup page is secure I wouldn't give my password for ebay to any site other than using ebay.
