Thread: Complete idiot !!!!!

Yep that's me

I just actually set a snipe on a razor, with the thought of " God I hope I don't win that one"

Can't you just cancel the snipe?

Well technically yes, I could, but I want the razor

Now ya see that complete idiot part....

Nope, I can see no idiot part here...

It happens to me all the time...

Thank God I've been outsniped numerous times, otherwise I'd be bankrupt by now...

Ahhhh, I see now.

I've been there. Set 5 snipes one day and spent the next few days hoping I don't win them all.

Now the hard part, do I wish you luck in winning the auction, or not winning it???
If you're like me you secretly want to win it.

So good luck in winning that auction.

Give us a link...... I always like to help a friend out.

Do you guys keep changing the max bid on your snipes? If I find one a few days out, I'll bring my max price up and down 10+ times and sweat it the whole time.

"it's worth $X, but I'll pay up to $X, change bid...but I really want this one, bump bid...what are you, stupid? ...change bid back down...no bids yet?...drop max...doh your going to lose this for sure, it's worth $X, bump bid...oh wait, she's going to kill me...drop bid quick!...but she doesn't have to know..bump bid"

I do that as well, and I will cancel a snipe then reinstate it sevteral times too. I've never regretted the items I won, sometimes wishing I had gone a few dollars more on the ones I didn't win. I believe there is a name for this condition......RAD?

I don't use a snipe program. I like the pure adrenaline rush that comes with waiting for the last few seconds to pull the trigger. Also I save money for all of those that I forget or can't get to when I am busy at work.

I'm with you Glen. Been there for sure.

@JCitron- there are snipe programs that let you group auctions- so if you win the first, it won't bid on the second. JustSnipe is one of those.
