Getting outbid
Seeing those emails in my tray made me tense up the first few times, afraid that someone would try and snipe my deer.
But now Its more of a relief, knowing that I am now free to indulge in frivolous behaviour with the next predilection I started coveting only moments after confessing my love to the previous one!
I don't know about you guys but I think ebay is dangerous. Its easy to just click and buy since you don't have to pay... at least not till in a few days
. I got so happy earlier on when someone outbid me on a few articles that I should not have clicked on.
Curse you people for putting me onto it all!

I hear you there. There are times I put in a maximum
bid and hope to God someone outbids me
. They
usually do. Apparently they're sicker than I am.

I play. Most people do now-a-days it seems.
I'm actually rather conservative, compared to other Scandinavians anyway.Last edited by Chady; 03-09-2008 at 01:12 AM.

Maybe that is my problem; I play poker and hate to lose. I have made many bids on ebay and sometimes regret the maximum. Usually I do get outbid, but I admit, I have made what I consider good and sometimes even great purchases. Sometimes it is just the fun of bidding. I'm a sick fella.

I have placed bids on more than one occasion where I later hoped someone would outbid me, and so far they always have...
Typically it has been on a meat chopper W & B.
Those things go for outrageous prices - even the ones that are beat up!

Sometime ago, I had bidders remorse and was able to back out of my bid before the item ended. Next time you're in that situation, check with how to bid etc to find out how it's done. It's been a long while ago I did this, but it worked.
