I just inadvertently sniped an auction.
(ok, I knew what I was doing, but I hadn't planned on it...it was just how it worked out...)
I'd had this film can on my watch list. I figured it'd be handy to keep the few photographs that are currently kicking around loose or stuffed in some bubble mailer.
Anyway, so I go to my watch page and see that there's one minute left in the auction.
I have no idea what came over me but it was quite a rush.
The auction page comes up and now I have 53 seconds. *whirrrrrr!* Scroll down to the bottom! How much to bid? Guh! just put something in the box! Submit! Argh! password! I thought I'd stored that! *types frantically*
::ENTER:: Wait for page to load with those lovely words..
"Congratulations! You are the high bidder!"
Go back to auction page...
I DID IT! Yay, me.
then
*Wham* The guilt hits.....
I'll get over it.
it wahs | from inside the mind of krix at July 11, 2002 12:35 PM .LMAO!
Thanks the sort of thing I'd do...*evilgrin*
Back in the days when I was eBaying like crazee..
I don't do that anymore, I've learnt my lesson...[darn poor!]
LOL
Posted by: Keanuette on July 11, 2002 12:41 PMYeah, okay, no sense feeling guilty! I guess it's possible this is how I was sniped as well (without forethought or malice, that is), so I should get over it, too. Hmmm.
Posted by: Lori on July 11, 2002 03:10 PMutterly understandable. and forgivable. you were carried away by the excitement.
Posted by: kd on July 11, 2002 04:42 PMYeah, and any Reloaded memorabilia is a prize really.
Plus it was relatively cheap. A round metal box at pier 1 would probably cost the same (11 bucks).
You are so sweet. It didn't take but a minute for you to feel guilty. I'm not one to dwell on guilt, but it does show you have a big heart. I like that. Just figures, a Keanu fan with compassion for her fellow ebayers.
Posted by: wendi on July 11, 2002 07:52 PMIt's just that I've been sniped before and it sucks so bad.
This is the second or third one of these that has been up on eBay, so I would guess that there might be a few more in the future.
Krix, Guilt is like a bag of bricks....
you know how the rest goes.
Oh man....the first time thru, I didn't read that as "bricks".
Posted by: krix on July 11, 2002 09:26 PM;) Been there...done that...just be sure you SHARE!
Posted by: KK on July 12, 2002 05:38 AMSo Krix....what did this little gem turn out to be? ~panting in anticipation~
