It would be sad if it weren't so funny, with a happy ending?
I decided, after losing control and buying several razors last month, to completely abstain from buying. Somehow I convinced my self it was OK to buy a couple of Naniwa SS. After all, now I have the whole set, 1K (Chosera) , 3K, 5K, 8K, 10K, and 12K. It's only makes sense right?, and they were used and at a good price.
So... In the mean time, while I'm not buying anything else (there's still things on my watch list that I'm just watching to see how prices are and as a reminder for some buy-it-now stuff) I decide to check out a bid sniping program for future reference. So I scan through a search of the cheapest razors for something to put a token bid on just for a test, you know, stuff that's broken or being sold as parts.... but everything has a BIN and I'm falling asleep by now and I even let Cheetahmeatpheonix know about some scales I stumbled across and OMG I need to get up at 5AM so I go to my watch list and decide to put a one dollar increment bid with the sniper to an auction that ends while I hope to be asleep. You know where this is going. I assume someone is going to lay a last second, I have to have this item, bid on it and I'll see how this software works.
So, yeah, much to my dismay, I won. Sniping software works, even when you don't really want it to :gaah:
The more philosophical among us might reason that this was my plan all along, that I was secretly hoping to win and the story I tell is an elaborate rationalization of a behavior I have little control over....
Anyway, I now own this:
