Taking An L On eBay UNAPPRECIATION

[dat sick kid]

...so yeah, i go and try and place my maximum bid on some %!@! while it's counting down (like friggin 35 sec. left) and first off it takes a couple extraseconds to load...but i should be alright, i had time to spare, right?

WRONG

dumb jumpoff told me to sign in right as it loaded

i'm like...da f__k?didn't i just do that a couple hours ago...and i'm not the quickest typer in the world so it was a wrap as soon as i seen that

ugh...i guess i just gotta take the...

and keep it moving...

 

[tnisatard]

what did you tryto win?

 

[datznasty]

I've lost some holy grails so many times because I was going to snipe but my internet froze or something.

But worse, is like 4 fake "authentic" jerseys I have.

 

[dat sick kid]

crooks x good shirt...should have thrown that in the OP

i just won at the last second. my max bid was 20 and the dude kept going at the last couple of minutes. it was at 13.49 then 13.99, 16.49, 18.49 all inthe last two minutes. dude must have just gave up after that and i won it for like 19 bucks!

I REFUSE to take an L tonight, got 3 more hours to go...

Unappreciated. A few months ago I was on my way on winning a legit M&N Hank Aaron Braves jersey, and at the last second somebody won it. Winning bid was$67.00. And no it was not fake. I've seen legit Hank Aaron joints go that low before.

Live and learn.

Same thing has happened to me.

From now on, Make sure you are logged in 5 minutes prior to an auction ending.

 

[mc otaku]

you have gt to be smarter my man

 

[heshua]

Yup I stay getting shafted on Ebay. I actually finally broke my ebay curse a couple weeks ago when I won a tennis racket.

[romeo0o]

i remember when it happened to me way back. you learn. better luck next time.

I hate it when I can't bid on something because I'm either at work or school. Sometimes I'll have my friends go on my account and bid it for me,but yeah...it's a drag.

 

[sickickz23]

why do you wait till the last second? haven't you heard of an auction sniper service that does the work for you? I use auctionstealer.


www.auctionstealer.com is your friend. Try it.

 

[pinofromthebay]

^^ i may have to try that

 

[buggz05]

yea I dont trust those auctionstealer things...i dunno

 

[starbucks gtd]

I took a many an L back in the day for shoes on ebay

You guys dont ever try asking the seller to end the auction early for you? I havent won an auction ending in a while. I usually look for BIN stuff or ask theseller to end early.

 

[ekimman]

i hate that
