Using eBay and being evil

Post by Azalin »

Tonight I am shopping for a Logitech keyboard on eBay. I noticed I am feeling great satisfaction when an auction is about to end, the price is around 5$ (very low), and I bid 45$, and I'm then being automatically outbid. It's like, because of me, this person has to pay 40$ extra.

I feel wickedly evil, am I the only one? :twisted:

I know how you feel. I washed my car on Friday. It rained 117 mm on the weekend.

Hehehe... good point! Actually, I've been in a buying frenzy the past few days, I guess it's to compensate for extreme loneliness! :sniffle:

Obviously, that's why Az has money to spend on stuff that *he* wants.

Reese is alright but she's no Queen Latifah! Now there's a beauty.

You bunch of thread hi-jackers. So to come back to my nolifitism, I had to fight an eBay expert last night. A few minutes before the end of the auction, we had a few bidding fights, then I was left the winner... until he calculated his bid and must have bid at the last 1-2 seconds of the auction, kicking my ass.

But meanwhile I had won another keyboard (different model), and I would have been stuck with two keyboards if I'd won the second one. But I wanted the second one, just because heck, it was war! Hehe.
