I just bid in my first ebay auction...oooh...

[Danger Mouse]

and the bid was a $1.25. I hope I win. This is new and exciting for me.
:hide: What a life I lead...or should I say... What? A life?

[fizzgig]

1. are you serious?

really?

wow


:P

[Danger Mouse]

3. what, that it's my first time, or that i'm excited about it?

[fizzgig]

8. that it's the first time you've ever bid on something

[Danger Mouse]

10. oh, yeah. well, i got something off of half.com really cheap earlier this week...

so since i was halfway there, i decided to check e-bay for this game i wanted.
and lo and behold, it's there.
and cheap.

2. I'm afraid of ebay

lol how are you babe?

[Danger Mouse]

4. hey stranger...i'm doing okay, how are you?

[RevolutionaryActs]

5. I have only bid/won/bought one thing off of ebay.

And I will not tell you what it is. You'll make fun of meeeeee *whines*

[Danger Mouse]

6. Believe me, the thing I'm bidding on is super nerdy.

I'm bidding on a copy of Final Fantasy 9 for the Playstation 1.
There, I did mine.
Now you are obligated to do yours.

[RevolutionaryActs]

7. No I'm not.

I didn't ask... oh fine....



































An autographed picture of Ewan McGregor. *dreamy sigh* Ewan. :loveya:

9. ...

...
well, okay. how much did it cost?

[RevolutionaryActs]

12. I don't remember, this was years ago.

:shrug:

[triguy46]

14. The highest I've paid on ebay is $950...

and I won't tell because of its political incorrectness.

[elshiva]

11. Good luck, hon.

:hug: I hope you get it for cheap.

[triguy46]

13. Some hints:

1. Bidding early is no advantage.
2. Know how much, honestly, how much you're willing to spend and bid that amount one time.
3. Do not get wrapped up in the 'excitement' of bidding. Its easy to pay $5 for a bedpan as I have done.
4. Use a sniping service, like bidnip, that will place your bid at the last moment preventing other lurkers from out bidding you.
5. Don't worry if you don't win. Ebay is a huge sale and something just like you missed will soon be available to bid on.
Good luck.

15. It's not a rare item...

but it is one that people don't seem too keen on getting...i think i'll get it for a decent price. i have my limit, but i'm not plonking that down unless i feel i need to.

[triguy46]

16. With proxy bidding, you don't have to. Ebay will only bid the amount you need to.

[jobycom]

17. Yeah, it starts that way, but when you find yourself bidding on your third car

and wondering who you will give it to if you win, then you have to have that talk with yourself... Not that I would know... really.

18. amateur

I've bought a few wrasslin' dolls off of Ebay.

It's a mixed bag.
