Missed out on a CF Delica for 60 usd and a signed Felicia Day book for 8 usd ( although that one has extortionist shipping on it)

You never really know if you would have gotten it cheap.  The winner may have bid it up to the sky.  That's what I tell myself when I miss a good auction.

And that's the case more times than not. I got 'unpleasantly' surprised many a time in the past.

That's why you just bid as high as you can afford, especially when you know you are likely not able to monitor the last minute bidding war. There was a NIB Juice Pro ended at $77 yesterday, a steal now that I think about it. However, $70 would have been too high a day prior for me. So, I dropped a $65 bid and see how it would go. Surely enough, the price was $48 until the last 10 seconds. I was soundly priced out by two separate bidders. The winner probably had a max bid of over $100. So, a steal for the winner, but not a steal for me if I wanted to bid him out.  :P

Now something like this makes my stomach turn http://www.ebay.com/itm/Weatherman-CHARGE-TTI-Multi-Tool-with-Premium-Sheath-Bit-Kit-CAMO-/152096996086
$105 with free shipping for a brand new Camo TTi, bead blast version?  >:(  This seller knew he had a gem in his hand (even had "hard to find" in description), but somehow he managed to have typo in description and had the price wrong. Can people be this dumb? $150 would have gotten this gone in half an hour. $200 if he got the wording and description correctly. And who in the right mind to list at midnight? The tool was bought at 3:30am in PA.

Of course it is a sour grape on my part, as I paid $150 for a non-bead blast version not too long ago  :rant:
