go in at the last second with the absolute max amount you'd ever be willing to pay if you made four times as much as yo actually do and *REALLY* *REALLY* *REALLY* want the item. You are right. E-Bay is NOT the place to go cheap on something you *really* want. (Ive been stung before too).

yes, rob. but my first bid under 'readytomove' was in yesterday and i entered bidding under gpescador today about an hour before close. my last update was at T-30seconds as you duly noted and i tried to get another on in at T-3seconds as i previously stated. but what does any of that matter?

because as you stated, it does SUCK TO LOSE...

the lesson here is don't nickel-and-dime on ebay. come in with your max and take what you get. i didn't play it straight.

next time...

pesc

the end of auction, ... it sucks to lose...


any lucky sob here get it?

3sec from the end i clicked the back button instead of send for my 10k bid. BASTARD! my wife and i were so looking forward to being a two tii family.

this is real pain.
