Bummed! I missed an auction for auto jersey!

Anyone wanna share their story about how they totally flaked out and FORGOT about an auction that was ending and missed it?

I spent hours picking out the autographed Emmit Smith jersey I wanted to get Matt for his birthday as a surprise. I didn't add it to my watch list becuase I didn't want him to see it. Anyway, I totally forgot about it until this morning and it ended at a cheap price too!

    I've done that. It happeed with a few 88-89 Fleer BK I was looking at as well as a few 1981 Topps FB. It really makes you feel bad when it closes for way less then you were prepared to pay. image

    The good thing about eBay is that things always find their way back on there or another exact item always comes back up. image

    Sorry to hear about this Matt

    I agree with jm - one of my "step" rules is that, within reason, another one will be down the road.

    So just keep your eyes peeled!

    Tonya,

    Don't be too upset, this baby still has 2 days to go and is available with buy-it-now. I'm sure Matt will love it.

    I've done that more times than I can count because I insist on manual sniping. I just missed 2 auctions tonight, in fact, on cards #/20. One those has a twin listed on ebay already so hopefully I can win it, and cheaper than the one tonight. The other, though, will be tough to find and expensive.
    WANTED:
    2005 Origins Old Judge Brown #/20 and Black 1/1s, 2000 Ultimate Victory Gold #/25
    2004 UD Legends Bake McBride autos & parallels, and 1974 Topps #601 PSA 9
    Rare Grady Sizemore parallels, printing plates, autographs

    Nothing on ebay
