How often do you put a bid on a record then later realize you don't really want it that bad and anxiously wait to be outbid? Happened to me today. I was pretty relieved.

    good thread!



    me: i want that record! no matter what. enter 50!

    happens at last 10 times a week.

    me later on i nthat week: dammit! i don't even have enough money for two of those recods!!!

    i guess i'm lucky though. being outbid by 1 dollar most of the times. happened to me twice this night!




    i'd be screwed if I won more than 2 of those records. LOL!

    $248 is my standard bid amount on all records of undetermined value.

    There are a significant number of deadbeat bidders who will bid on a list of records and if they don't win the one they really want, outbid themselves with accounts of 0-5 feedback so that they don't have to pay.



    DO NOT WANT.

    eBay automatically reverts to censoring usernames if bids exceed a certain amount now.
