Jack Dudley book

[Jstocks]

To the person who outbid me with 2 seconds to go today, congrats on a rare find. I was watching the seconds count down with my finger on the button to increase if need and could not respond fast enough.

What did it go for $?
I paid a premium for mine. I was just starting to collect and got carried away.

Great book by someone I'd love to have met

Winning bid was $405

Just curious.   I'm assuming this was EBay.  If so, if you were willing to pay more with 2 seconds to go, why not set your max bid higher to start with?   That may have helped you to secure the purchase.

It was eBay.

I was the high bidder and still had plenty of room in my max bid at the 3 minute mark and was watching closely all the way to the end. I'm not real savvy at the bidding wars on there. Looking back I should have just decided how much I was willing to pay, put it in as a max bid and walk away. Check it later and be satisfied with win or lose..... lesson learned I reckon.

I figured it may have been someone on the site. I know there are several folks who would love to pick that book up. I hope it went to someone who will enjoy it.

I have been on ebay almost since it started and it became apparent since the beginning most people that get stuff that is bid on and not "Buy it now" items are going to be your snipers. I will not bid on an item myself unless I know I am not going to be there to snipe it because you do one of two things by adding a maximum bid, you will drive the price up in most cases and still not win anyway with your maximum bid or you pay more than you would have if you sniped it because in order for there to be an additional bid there has to be time for the next persons bid to be entered so if you snipe with say 3 seconds left the other bid will never have the chance to be entered.

It is a game that I have won far more than I have lost it but it sure does suck when you do lose it, you have to time your bid just right or the others persons max bid can out trump you and your max sniping bid will not have the time to counter their counter. At one point in time there were computer programs that would snipe it for you but they did away with those on ebay. (No I never used that, took away from the fun of winning the snipe.)

Was it Greatest moments of my life?

Yes

I've owned the book then sold it. If your interested in reading the book the University of Mississippi has two copies and your local library can borrow it for you. If your interested in just collecting that's another issue. I searched for awhile to find the one I bought was really disappointed in the book as for as turkey hunting content. It's like a lot of self published books needed a good editor before being printed. It's value is in its scarcity not content. There is definitely a reason it was only printed once and in limited number. The book did not sell well and there's hundreds of better titles on Turkey hunting.

    I bought my copy of Jack Dudley's Book from Jim Casada some time back for, I believe 800Bucks.   I read it twice and sold it for about half that.

[Ctrize]

That is ironic, I sold my copy to Casada for 455 and he put it up for 800. I t was one of the first books I picked up so I got it at a good price.
