I live close enough to Dallas to make it worthwhile for me to bid on that. However since you saw it first I'll bow out.

Now you'd better win it! ;) ;)

*sigh*

I'm out, I can't stand the 3 minute till the end of the auction snipe war. There was 2 of these up last month, got sniped for $103. figured he needed more than I did, something to be said about getting things on the cheap(est)

I thought I had it locked with the whole mispelled title too, I was an ebayers dream.

kinda like finding "50s Korvettte, red, no reserve" posted in the porceline figurine section. not that look in the porceline figurine section

good luck

Post by: AlanS17 on June 23, 2004, 02:03:06 pm: ... and so the bid war begins with 1.5 hours left.

I can see other people here are interested in it, too.

Post by: AlanS17 on June 23, 2004, 03:34:59 pm: *sighs* I think I could have had it cheaper... (Not blaming anybody for bidding, though.)

Post by: Nannuu on June 23, 2004, 03:36:04 pm: Doh, lost to AlanS17. Had a hard time determining what I was willing to pay. I'll be kicking myself in the jimmy here pretty soon I'm sure. Good luck with the monitor!

Post by: AlanS17 on June 23, 2004, 03:43:54 pm: Thanks! Actually, $216.68 was my high bid that i had decided on about an hour ago... and that's the exact price I got it at. Cut it pretty close, though... (1 second to spare)
Title: Re:FA : 27" SVGA Monitor
Post by: Nannuu on June 23, 2004, 03:59:37 pm: How did you pick 216.68? I had 220 then changed to 215 before entering. Stupid stupid stupid <smacking forehead>
Title: Re:FA : 27" SVGA Monitor
Post by: AlanS17 on June 23, 2004, 06:08:10 pm: Well I wanted it for $215.00 but I figured on bidding a bit over since you had the first bid... a tied bid would go to you. Plus I didn't know if you had bid a few cents over your mark, either. So I bid a few cents more over that just in case.

A little bit of math, a little bit of psychology, and a LOT of luck.
