what luck
12.09.04 at 07:18:13

Well today i had the worst moment ever in my Ebay life Cry

I cant even put into words what happen to me but ill try.
I got home late from disneyland last night and got on ebay to do my check to see if anything new had come up worth bidding on, and there it was the most wonderful 3dfx item i could ever think of getting, now i had to check it several times cause the person that was selling it had put no reserve, bidding to start at 5.00, now i thought i better check all the forums to see all the chatter about this fantastic item but i found nothing at all, so i thought i had found this great chance to make a deal, i sent an Email to the sellar that id be out of town when the Bidding ended which was the truth and if he agreed id pay him 200.00 for it right now, it was around 5.00am and went to work, got home an found an email saying he put it back up with a 200.00 buy now, im like what and as fast as i could got on Ebay, now what do you think happen, thats right some other guy got the deal of a lifetime, did i say lifetime, ya thats right Cry

p.s. now, what really gets me is some other guy got a great deal cuase of me and dont even know it Angry

sympathies, VDX. Sad

Obvoiusly, the seller had no idea as to the cards value ... until you let him in on it! Too bad!

Don't mean to rub it in or anything, but did you check the sellers' ebay username?? Kind of a hint, don't ya think! Wink

If I was you, if you agreed to do a Buy It Now for 200, and he was still delaying making the deal, as a safeguard, bid on the item anyway, up to 200. Therefore, you have rights up to the given amount you mentioned, and then if does decide to change to Buy It Now, he can end the original auction, and set up a new Buy It Now auction for 200 with exclusive rights to you! Just a suggestion!

But yeah, what a card! WOW! Grin

well ive gone from missing it at 200 to missing it at 1150, i had my friend put in a bid while i was at work so i wouldnt miss this one, i cant win i guess Sad

im pretty sure this person has broken up a 4 card aalchemy box by the email they sent me, there responses arent too informative, guess that leave the last 2 cards Undecided

http://cgi.msn.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40157&item=5124165562...
this one seems to have lost 2 heatsinks, not sure if i want to bid a bundle on this one Undecided

Looked at the last link here and they've got "No buy now option", wonder why? After the last bid got so high, they're expecting that now. Sorry dude.
