loser.


loser!
so i lost the ebay auction for those JM tickets. there's a strategy involved, i've noticed. people wait until the very last minute, then place some aberrant bid amount like$150.21. then in those final moments before the bidding closes, you're trying to figure out what is the minimum amount you should bid to still out-bid them. sneaky! and if your computer is slow like mine, even if i was willing to put an overpriced bid, i still lose because my computer didn't process quickly enough as i was hitting the Place Bid button a million times a minute. alot of times, people will wait until the very last moment before putting in their higher bid. here i was, thinking i got the tickets for sure because no one had out-bid me for a day. next thing i knew, as the last grain of sand fell through the hourglass, i was out-bid and lost!


i am an e-bay loser.

don't feel too bad...bidding on ebay is an art, and you just need to practice a little more.
