i am in the market for a new cell phone and bid on some on ebay. now i was getting mad beacuse some morons(smart people actually) were sniping and lost every auction by two dollars or so. so i said WTF and bid up real high for two auctions that both ended Sunday afternoon. i wake up go to my computer and see it doesn't work, i try to call SBC but can't get through.

i say to hell with it and go to a buddy's house to watch the laker game. get home tonight, stay on hold for 45 to get through to linksys. that works but my DSL was down. stayed on hold for another 25 min for SBC and lo and behold when i finally get my DSL configured, i have won two new phones at prices that are astronomical. damn........... let the flaming about egay begin.

P.S. anybody want a phone for verizon real cheap ---Motorola T720 fpr 175 shipped.

Entirely your fault. Never bid more than you're willing to pay.

Snipers aren't morons, they're just more efficient bidders than you. ;)

I believe it works for most because they could sell junk for money, mostly ancient stuff, defective product :Q

Why bid more than you want to pay? And when you were @ your buddy's house, why not use his internet then?

eBay is a great resource if you know what you're doing. Personally, I've never had any problems selling or buying.

i liked ebay much more when it was not about commercial selling. that is why ATFS/FT was invented
