Ebay let down....So close yet so far - blaze92585 - 06-19-2011
Sitting up doing work at 12 am trying to get a head start on a week that will leave me counting down the hours until the weekend starting Monday morning and I took a quick break to look at the autos and patches ending on the bay tonight. I fell into a couple dollars recently, nothing too much but enough for a couple cool cards. I stumbled upon one auction that had me thinking I should go for it and blow all the money and then some on one card. I did the usual 5 seconds to go bid. It was at $261 with 5 seconds left and I threw a $290 bid at it. Don't know how far I was off but it was at least $5 dollars haha (most likely more) but would have love to have landed this card and would have definitely taken it for a raw review at the next show, looks pretty clean. Well take a look:

I like how he has all the identities made private so you can't see if he is shill bidding.

The shilling isnt my concern. I put in the highest bid I wanted with 5 seconds left. If his shill bid was higher than what I bid then the card is still his and he has to pay fees haha.

That is the thing about the bay. There is always a card that I can drop a couple hundred on haha. Just need to stop being lazy and list all the stuff I don't want anymore to have some significant paypal rather than dippin in the bank account.
