friggin' ebay

[vanynessa]

Okay, so this happened a few days ago, I think I'm almost over it, but not really. I could truely kick myself in the hiney. As a matter of fact I do believe I ACTUALLY kicked myself physically in the behind the next day. I've been wanting to buy the Voyager books cause I hadn't read hardly any of them and my friggin' library is too sorry to carry more than 4 Voyager books, so I bid for a lot of Voyager books that had #1-16 and 4 additional New Frontier Books (and for only $10.00). I was the only bidder for days. I checked my bid before it was over. 10 minutes- highest bidder. 2 minutes- highest bidder. 1 minute 15 seconds highest bidder. 30 seconds- highest bidder. 20 seconds- YOU'VE BEEN OUTBID!! WTF? I scrambled to rebid, and I lost my precious books. No one else had bid on them except for me, until the last 20 seconds. ARGGGGGH!! I almost cried. Why didn't I put in a maximum bid.....WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??? Sorry, I just had to unload. Thanks for listening.

That is so sad. I am sorry. I found most of mine on amazon. You might want to try there. They are a bit more expensive but you dont have to worry about being out bid.

OMG!!!!

I know the feeling!!! I was the high bidder on these Voyager binders for 5 DAYS!!!! Im the only bidder....and then I look at it 1 hour to go.....raise it a bit more, go get a coffee....come back and BAM!!!!! Out bid and lost BOTH!!!!!!

I was freakin LIVID!!!! I was out bid by .50!!!!

I'm watching the last one like a freakin hawk.......anyone take it and I will KILL!!!!

[jcvoyager]

lol i hate it wen that happens what i tend to do is make a bid three or four days before it ends and then i half an hour before it finishes i think bout the maximum amount i would pay for it and then i enter that. 9 times out of 10 i won the lot and sometimes if i no i won't be there i get someone else to watch it for me eg. dad and i tell him the most to put down

[Mel]

The things that i have gotten off ebay my friend bought for me. I dont have the concentration(sp) time span to sit there an check bids and stuff like that.

[KateJaneway]

Its freakin INFURIATING!!!!!

Stay away....far away!!


Speaking of.....I better check mine.....*goes off to ebay site*

[DDL]

I don't know how many auctions I've lost because someone decided to wait until the last ten seconds to bid. I prefer the Buy It Now option.

[vanynessa]

I'm watching one now and I swear if I get outbid in the last 10 seconds again I will go nuts. I don't know what I'll do, but I'll think of something nutty to do, preferrably towards the winner....

[Janeway Forever]

I stay far far far away from ebay. Because if I don't, I always end up spending more than I really wanted to.

[Mel]

HAHA If i did go on ebay I am sure that I would have that problem.

[DDL]

You mean on that lot of 140+ books, Van? I thought it looked interesting but the moment I saw you were bidding on it I left it alone. ;D

I had good luck with eBay today. I bought a nice-looking Voyager hat, never worn, was used for display purposes. The colors go really well with my favorite jacket, so I'm happy about it.

[Mel]

DDL that is a nice hat!

[jaxlynn]

so, did you get your books??? I'm still missing 09, 19 20 and 21.....drat it all. LOl...I do hope you won your auction.

[Mel]

Did you get my message about books 19, 20, and 21???


They are the Dark Matters books. Try searching Star Trek Voager Dark Matters. They should come up

You know...I don't really have a big desire to own lots of Voyager memorabilia....call me strange. LOL. I had alot of stuff and sold it. When I met kate the first time, I just kind of gained the mindset that meeting her was far better than having all the stuff I never do anything with. Since then, I don't think I've purchased a single Voyager keepsake....and that was two years ago. LOL.
