eBay sniping rant...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/260845947003?ssP...500wt_1287
I was licking my lips on this one, getting ready to snipe this baby up and then of course right when I hit "place bid" that little loading circle keeps going around and around...This Page can not be Displayed...great. Oh well. More money in my pocket at least (well, Paypal account actually)
And before you tell me, yes, I know there's sites that can do it for me.

I used to do my own sniping for many years until I got burned the same way you did. Ever since that I have used a sniping site and I will never go with out it again.

This has happened a few times to me also. I am furious the first few hrs, but then calm down and say it will more than likely show up again.

I hate when that happens....I've lost some nice cards that I really wanted due to those dumb eBay page errors.

How much does it cost to use those sniping sites? I work nights and it seems most good auctions end while I'm at work.
