Title: Gah!!! Outbid again!!! I just wanted a couple balls...
Post by: tmasman on December 09, 2003, 03:37:39 pm
I really wanted a trackball on the cheap...
I saw this one (& a few others)...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3258074626&category=13718 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3258074626&category=13718)
I also found this one for 12 Betson Imperial TBs...

I thought... hey... I could buy these & resell them here on the board... I'll bid up to $160 (+ $15 shipping)...
I'll keep 2 & sell the rest... yeah!

Well the single TB went first & I got out bid... But I was fine with that... I was going to win the 12...
Then I went after them & I was trying to snipe it with a minute to go, but 2 people put in massive bids within the last 10 seconds...
So now I have no balls... :-\

Bah! phooey! grrrrr.... ug.

Next!

Maybe one of these days I'll get my hands on some cheap balls... (Ha! oh wait... ewwwww!)

I feel your pain, brutha

I gave in on finding a  3" trackball on the cheap. Finally got one for $27 shipped on ebay..brand new.  better in the long run I think.  Although I still wanted a deal

too bad we couldn't pick up one of those big lots of old t-balls from the auction in Mesquite.  

if anyone can help Tmas get some balls, please do   ;)
