Frustration.. Parents and wives.. Their uncanny timing sucks

[Pinbreaker]

So I had been watching a fantastic card and was going to bid on it.. (I don't use sniping services)..

Anyway, Tuesdays is when my wife's physical therapist comes over to stretch her legs, etc.. Well just as she was finishing up, my parents stopped by.. So we had dinner and when we were done eating, I quickly ran into the back room to check the EBAY auction I was watching.. and %^^&#$^*#^$.. the auction had closed.. the bid was less than half I was going to bid..

Anyone else ever had an interruption where you couldn't bid on an item and lost out?

This is the very reason I use esnipe. You never know when life is going to throw a curve at you, or at least an unexpected event.

If you don't like automatic snipes, just set the alarm on your watch or cell phone to go off a few minutes before the auction closes, that way you don't have to worry about "watching the auction" and you can better enjoy the time spent with your loved ones.

Add me as another who uses them. You really should use it as it is free and makes things so much easier.

Yes, many years (and dollars) ago, before i wised up and started sniping.
