Ebay bidding frenzy!

[yinyang]

Ever been got up in an Ebay bidding frenzy and ended up paying up way more than you thought you would for something?

I've just paid a ridiculous amount for a child's dresssing up costume - we could be talking divorce here if I don't manage to intercept the e-mails..

Make me feel better by teling me about your daft purchases, please!!

I've never had a bidding frenzy but I did once enter a maximum bid of £500 instead of £5 due to a misplaced decimal point. Luckily the seller understood and cancelled my bid.lol

The worst I did was about 5 years ago when I got up to £400.00 for a handbag.........luckily that was my maximum but I cried when it went for £405.00................

[ummmm]

I'm way too tight to get into a bidding frenzy..

Got so caught up in my bidding I lost track of time!. Have to go out now so not being rude and ignoring you all.
Look forward to reading a few tales of excessive retail therapy later...

Feel better already - it didn't make it into the hundreds; Although £55 may still be a bit much for a halloween costume.

Little person will be happy, though.

see you soon

I use JustSnipe, a free snipe tool. I put my maximum bid in and forget about it. JustSnipe makes my bid in the last few seconds of the auction. No bidding frenzy for me.

i always wait until the last 30 seconds and put in my max bid. That way i cant be tempted to bid more than i really wanted to

£55? OMG

what was the costume?

[ummmm]

You should have gone into town....

I paid £28 for a pair of lilac 'silk' knickers. Silk my @rse. When they came they were the cheapest tackiest horrible-ist scratchy nylon material you can imagine. They were NOT La Perla. AND I swear they had been worn before.
They went straight in the bin.
(I had had a few JD's before bidding - lethal).

Red, its Stitch - the alien from Disney's Lilo and Stitch.

My younger girl adores it and it's really hard to find stuff over here. As well as all the Halloween parties, she'll be able to wear it when we go to Disneyland, Paris in December.

And then next year, I'll sell it on Ebay...

salla, £28 for possibly used knickers is even worse than my mad purchase, I think, but I didn't have the excuse of being drunk.
