 Post subject: I Never Thought They Would Get MePosted: Tue Apr 19, 2005 4:49 pm 
Well, I just lost the auction for the 2xl shirt. I set my max bid at the exact amount of money I had in my chekcing account minus shipping, and he beat me with 6 seconds left. Congrats to brightwhite_elf for getting the shirt. Kim, don't feel bad about this. Merchandise is meant to be sold. That's its function. By the way, when a 2 year old shirt, advertising the failed name of a band that you are the mother of 4/5's of goes for 89.33 plus shipping, that should tell you that you're doing something right. This should only engourage you. Congrats on being a fantabulistic mom. |

By the way, the last second bid is a cheap move. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

It may be a cheap move, but it is an effective one. He got the best of me, and you know what, he was willing (or actually able) to pay more than me. If it makes the Duprees more money, than kudos for him. |

Last second bids seem to be the only way to win stuff on eBay nowadays. An item that I sold a while back had 10 bids placed all within the last 5 seconds of the auction close, and no bids prior to that... Oh well, if you only had 89+shipping in your checking, I would say that it was probably better that you didn't win the bid anyways. (no offense, really) |

I have two banks, and thusly two checking accounts. Every week $20 is automatically taken from my paycheck and stuffed into the account in question. This is my disposable account. I use it for tickets to fun stuff, random performance parts for my car, cds, and whatever else I want. I have money in my other bank. |

I have something similar... its the best way to separate fun from the necessary and still have the money to do both. |

Yeah, it sucks if you are the high bidder for most of the auction and someone outbids you or rockets the price, but that's what happens when you have a timed auction. If you don't want to get outbid at the last second put in a high enough max bid. And I have to say, "holy crap!" That's a lot of money for a shirt! Let me know when you start auctioning the good stuff Kim. |

I can dish out that kind of cash because my little rat nest has not been touched in over a month. But since I didn't win the shirt, I can spend the money on other stuff, like tickets to the Cleveland show!!!!!! I swear, when he closes a door, he opens a window. |
