Thread: don't you hate it when you're outbid!?

Damnit!!! was really wanting a 9/8 wade & butcher on ebay, put in a bid and got outbid by a buck!!!! worst part, looked at what the guy normally buys, looks like he's into antique sound systems not even razors. probably won't even shave with it. bastard.

That is a bummer, Red. I'm no Ebay expert, but just because it ended with him buying it for a buck more than you could have meant that in reality he could have set a snipe much higher; so, if it's any consolation to you, you may have been outbid by quite a bit.

I don't like when Blaireau outbids me on natural stones that I want.

I know...it is a real kick in the teeth to get outsniped, but I usually don't get frustrated because I am pretty cheap, and only get the rare razors that everybody else forgot to look at.

that's the way i work...i just won a torrey last night for 10 bucks shipped and it looked in good condition...i was the only bidder :-)

I know man...I love when that happens..

Well, that razor looks in need of quite a bit of sanding.
You only wanted it for $78, he wanted it more, how much more we won't know

yeah, better that way anyways, I keep telling myself that if I hold off on buying more of these in need of reconditioning I can get some nice ones from some of the guys on here that make them for some good prices. good thing I lost out on a 7 day set last night too, more money I didn't need to spend. :-) I figure that there is probably a talented maker here that could do a large blade to my desire for a good price if I am just patient and stars align so I find money at the same time as a person that can do it.

guess I'd better go get ready for work.

That is why I am glad when I get outbid more often then not.

Not at all! In fact, I usually enjoy a sigh of relief when I lose an auction.

yes ... yes i do! my third ebay buy ever was a decent DE for $1.24 ( $10 to ship ha!) and of course that got me addicted as i thought "if i got this one that easily then there should be lots of other deals out there", and my disappointment started. after that i have been outbid on everything but one straight razor ( not a big brand name) and i have had to learn some patience.

now that i think of it i was probably outbid by some people on here. i'm not as mad now
