An eBay Auction Ever Make You Shake From Nerves/Excitement?

[Brett Keith]

Cause that just happened to me.

I clicked over to eBay and what do I see staring me in the face? The #1 card on my PC wantlist with a no-brainer(for me atleast) BIN. I was so scared that someone would hit the BIN, but decided to take the ballsy route and take the time to click on Live.com, then sign into my other eBay name so I could actually use Live.com. When I clicked on the auction to hit the BIN, it said there were 3 offers on it already, but I was in time.

Here it is...

Congrats. The happened to me with the whale in my sig. It was up for over an hour when I saw it. However, I was so nervous I forgot to use Live, but I remember to switch ebay accounts to use the one w/ ebay bucks + an 8% coupon, so it wasn't too bad.

Sick pickup!

GREAT CARD! Congratulations on snagging it!

yes sir. I know the feeling. Happened about 2 weeks ago with the 87' donruss McGwire auto's that are numbered out of 49. 1 signed and dated for each HR hit in 87'. Been waiting a LONG time for that one. I was shaking. and this was at 2am. Congrats on the upton. that card is badass!

I just did a large search of all BJ Upton and didn't see that. Congrats. Pretty funny. I found a pair of his cleats for $300.00 and signed Champagne bottle by the 2008 Rays for $200.00.

The guy w/ the 3 offers was me. Two of mine were auto-declined and the other wasn't. He countered and right as I was about to click accept counter-offer, someone bought it.

I see it was you.

Nice buy.

 

[pujolsthomefan33]

LOL, you know when you get a good deal when 3 different FCB members were all trying to hit the buttons at the same time...

[olerudfan]

I used to get like that before I started sniping more.

Congrats on the awsome looking card!

In all the excitement, I forgot to check the mail until I saw the truck driving by. Got another PC card that I've been waiting a long time to get. It's only the second 2-color patch to show up, only about the 5th total since the product came out.

I know, I know. :lol: I actually did lose out on an auction one time because I tried to do it, then afterward I beat myself up for about a day. It's just become second nature, when I see a BIN, I think "Save money!". I don't know why I am on my main eBay name so much anymore, since I can't use Bing/Live.com under that name right now. I also need to go back to constantly keeping Bing/Live.com active while I'm on.

i just read the whole thing now between the other 2 fellas. instead of " special thanks to Tim and coltsfan23" by you, it would've been more like "special thanks to BK for trying to save what amounts to 3x lunch specials" by tk or coltsfan :lol: :lol:

you got lucky. period!

and damn, very nice pickup!!!
