I was bidding on a Yahoo cel when the auction ended
early. This didn't make sense to me because there
were several bidders duking it out and I would have
paid a lot more then what the high bid was at the
early close. Then, LOW AND BEHOLD, the SAME cel
ended up on ebay about two weeks later! I refused
to bid, there's no way I was going to give my money
to this person, even though I would have really
liked to get that cel. When it was all said and
done, the cel on ebay went for LESS (no reserve)
than the last bid on YJ. Assuming that the seller/
bidder on YJ even settled on that amount (hopefully
it was more). So with shipping, I'd say the guy
took a 20% hit. HA!
So the YJ seller lost $$$ because he jumped the
gun, the YJ bidder lost $$$ because he's immoral
and is being punished by God. The ebay bidder
really lucked out, and I got a good laugh out of
it.
So not every money grubber wins. Maybe this will
make you feel a little better kenshinlvr, if
nothing else... ^__^
