The countdown begins:

Twelve minutes left… I’m still the high bidder.

Nine minutes left… still me. Is the other bidder going to be sneaky and pop in here at the last minute to oust my high bid? Ack! I can’t take the suspense!

Six minutes… still me.

Three minutes… still me. EEEEK!!! It’s almost mine!!!

time’s up…

not mine… Those bastards outbid me in the last minute. I hate them.

Replies: 3 comments… woo hoo!

since this was my first time on eBay actually bidding on something, I didn’t really know what to expect. Sniping is part of the game, so I’ve been told. You know, some people actually have computer programs that can bid at the, literally, last second. Craziness.

Eww, snipers! I got sniped on a box set of videos I’d been hunting for for years 🙁

On the other hand, half the time I open the package and say “Now, why did I buy this?” LOL.

Better luck next time.

Oh noooooo!!!! I hate hate hate hate HATE that! I’m sorry! 🙁

Now I’m addicted too… though on completely different ebay things. Mainly stuff I don’t need, but can get cheap and figure, why not? CDs for less than $5 (incl. shipping), why not?

I’m bad… I must be stopped…
