Re: [DMCForum] bidding on eBay...

[DMCVIN6683 <dmcvin6683@xxxxxxxxx>]

Would you let something go for a cheaper price and pay lots more later 
just because i was bidding on it? So lets say the seller spelled 
Daloreann wrong and i found this deal on a part and i was the only 
bidder and there was 15 seconds to go, would you let me have this find 
so you can find another auction where you would maybe pay for example 
$10, $20 or $50 more just because i was bidding on it? Would you let a 
rare item that maybe hits EBay once a year go just because i was 
bidding on it even if we both needed it extremely bad?

I purposely wouldn't bid against another that i know but i dont have 
money falling out my ass either if you are understanding what i am 
saying. EBay is an auction site where deals can be found and prizes can 
be lost to other bidders.

If you dont outbid me somebody else will and we both loose it, if i 
dont outbid you somebody else will and we both will loose it. Like I 
said, I purposely wont bid against somebody i know unless i need what i 
see. I rather have someone i know win the auction than somebody else i 
dont know.
