#2It seems like a lot of handcuffs shown on the recent auction posts
get relisted soon after their auction ends with a winning bidder.

#3And sometimes the good auctions don't make the list. The good deal of the month:

Hard to tell from the picture but both pairs of cuffs are American Handcuff Co. A-105 Aluminum handcuffs. Both pairs in excellent used condition with no extra markings.

#5The A-105's weigh 5.6 ounces (159 grams for our metric friends) and are NIJ approved.

#6What would have made this a better deal would have been the seller to actually take the time to look at the cuffs. I emailed and asked if the cuffs were lighter than the Smith's she had in another auction and she said the weighed the same as the Smith's and she would guess them at a pound a piece or so. I didn't bid higher based on that, and thus got last second sniped by Kujo ( again). lol
Congrats on the deal tho, if she had taken the time to actually weight them you sure wouldn't have gotten this deal!
By the way, the auction I did win was a set of duty gear shipped crammed into a Captain Crunch cereal box and paking taped three layers thick!
It did arrive tho.
Good luck with the bargain hunts!

#7Ahhh... sniping and strafing... the bane of e-bayers everywhere and thouroughly encouraged by E-bay. Who hasn't been the only bidder on an auction for 10 days only to be outbid in the last 3 seconds? For those new to e-bay or seasoned veterans that might have missed it, their latest tool can be found here:
http://countdown.ebay.com
Realtime direct connection. 15 minute audible warning of auction ending,instant outbid notice and high bidder notice. After your first bid on an item it has true one click bidding for both the strafe (Place Minimum Bid) and snipe (Place Bid) buttons. Instantly updates bids and appears capable of inserting a bid right up until the system actually closes the auction (<1 second).
The only bad things I can see about this is it does require your personal attention at the end of the auction, bidding only works with auctions where pay-pal is a payment option (is that really surprising?) and using it may cause people to liken you to a rabid St. Bernard!!!!

#8certainly a great deal to the lucky buyer..

What I found interesting is that the seller aquired it while in the service.
He stated that while upgrading the armory, they were ordered to clear out the
"obsolete" old leg irons to be sent for destruction and make room for the more
modern and up to date ones.
Too bad the military didn't destroy all of the Harvard ones instead of these...
