an unfortunate loss....

man....has this ever happen to u??

there i was.... just waiting out the last ten minutes of the auction where i was finally gonna get me some items i collect ....and i was sooooo happy...i could already feel them in my greedy little hands ....ready to display proudly .....when don't u know....the very thing u sit there hoping out loud...pllleaassseee nooo not this time.... knowing u and others have gone back and forth and after thinking u might have secure a really good max.  someone comes in and outbids u......so u rush and face off with the clock.....thinking.,..ohhh i want these they are mine.....but while bidding..u can't help but wonder if this new entry...(not one of the competitors during the stint of competition) was a die-hard fan like u ..... so u check and the new blood.....is actually new....... still wet behind the ears.... a big ole ZERO next to his name.... account only been open for 6 days....so u reason to think....yep this person has been watching this selection of goodies and u can't help but want to think.... they must really want it too....so there i am ....bidding and damn if i didnt get to where i needed to be to claim my victory!!! i was a bit disappointed but thought...ahhh hell....i will find more stuff later....always fickle fans that will part with things as they jump on some other bandwagon.......

then you get an email about a second chance to buy.....what!!??!?! no way...what happened ...why didnt the original bidder want to buy the deal....it was GOOD...AND LET ME TELL U....GGGGGOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!!

and u see that .....that new blood is no longer a registred member.....and u wonder!?!?! wth??

 

a pet peeve about ebay-ers

don't tell me i am the only one out there that feels this way..... absolutely can't stand when some big bidder comes in and outbids you ....only to turn around and separate a lot to resale for profits....... save the excitement to us collectors that really want the stuff.... go get a real job....or at least hunt the estate sales to bring here....
