It's not that big a deal, but...

I could really live without getting an eBay "Watched Item" reminder for two cards that got bought out from under me earlier today. I'm mad enough about it as it stands. I don't need a refresher.

    For every auction I ever see, I have a set price in mind that I will pay. If I want it, I enter that price. If I'm high bidder, ok, if I'm not then oh well! I don't understand the whole "bidding war" deal.

    You have to love the timing of those messages sometimes, like after the auction has ended.

    That's the key point. I won several things, all of the stuff that I really wanted, but I got outbid on some things I put placeholder bids on, not expecting anyone to go for. No big deal, it happens. The part that gets me is that a lot of BINs from the same source I had marked also went this afternoon. It's like someone with my exact collecting taste got a giant settlement check yesterday.

    All of that I can more or less live with but getting a watched item reminder, that shows two of the BIN cards as still available, (giving me momentary hope that I had misread the entries on my Watched Items page)...that's just sort of cruel.

    One thing nice about ebay - for every item you lose or pass on...

    another will come along (for the most part).

    All true. Some of the cards I won today are ones I had come up short on, or only rarely seen, before.
