    Default YOU HAVE GOT TO BE SMURFING ME!!!!!!

    Outbid by $2 in the last 4 seconds! This one was a steal at the price it went for and with 5 seconds to go I was the high bidder. Then some muppet came in and outbid me by $2!!! I'm seriously spitting feathers!!!!

    Yea, I've been there. It does suck, but at least that's a fairly common razor. There will be another.

    His high bid was probably more than $2 over yours, you just got sniped. Sorry to hear, it happens to all of us.

    Sorry to hear that you got robbed at the last second; I'm always paranoid that someone will do that to me.

    V/R,
    Scott

    (p.s.- nice use of smurfing )

    I often don't bid at all until the last three seconds. I hate "nibblers" that bid $1 to $5 until they are in the lead.

    Bummer. Know what its like. I've been out bid by $1 in the past. Snipers are just a fact of life.
    Good advice from Doc tho. Put in the highest bid you'd be happy to pay. If it goes for more - it's too expensive
