maddening!
Aug 26, 2006 | 6:43PM
Have you ever tried to purchase anything on E-Bay? I'm not talking about "buy it now". I'm talking about  the auction?! For the last week I have been trying to acquire a straight jacket for my son for X-mas.Yes folks,I said a straight jacket?That is an entirely different blog story! Anyway,these auctions go for days at a time with no bids whatsoever until I place my first bid!Then everyone and their brother has to have what I want.Thursday evening,I waited until the last 2 minutes to make my bid .Wouldn't you know it someone outbid me in the last second by$1and got MY prize!!!This is absolutely maddening! I have another chance tonight.I think I will wait  until the last 30 seconds.If I get the straight jacket,I may share why my son wants one LOL.  Before I close,I would like to make mention of the fact that the Jerry Lewis telethon will be here soon.One of my dearest friends here on Grab(mco533)has a loved one very dear and close to her that suffers from MD.We should all send our love and support to our friend.Also,we should all try to do what we can,large or small,tosupport the Jerry Lewis telethon.I have been watching and donating since I was a young girl.Let's all try to find a cure for this terrible disease! Thank you and god bless.Smiley

Straight jacket, hmmmm! That's the way it is on Ebay. I despire that site...my bf used to be really hooked on it but has limited his time on it these days. He does the same thing you were speaking of. Seems no one wants what you want until you place a bid, and I think that's how it's supposed to work. I had the same problem with a pair of Guess Jeans that were the perfect size and style. Not being familiar with how to work the site (or refresh) I was outbid in the last minute. The telethon is an amazing chairty drive. We can never be generous enough until a cure is found!

hey, keep going with ebay, i love it and am totally addicted, try putting in an odd amount instead of even , for instance, i would bid £4.03 for something instead of £4.00, that tends to work, and at the end of the day its an auction so thts the thrill of it.A straight jacket eh? um interesting, do they come in small.......
