I am totally shit at ebay. Have just been trying to bid on a laptop to replace my old broken one, and have three times this evening been outbid right at the end, about 2 seconds before the auction finishes, just enough time to cue panic button-pressing and predictable disappointment. The annoying thing is that I've just kind of been hanging around waiting for each auction to end when I'd really rather be doing something else.
Some people must just be really great at ebay, well versed in tactics and protocol, and probably laugh hysterically when they manage to outbid me at the last minute. Like the mad super-villains in films do when they've just hatched a plan to dispose of the hero, except hunched over a keyboard and wearing slippers. I feel dejected.
Might just have a go at one more before bed.
