Well, had a bid in on another Frantic Ferrari that ended today.... had a number in and wasn't going to worry about it. Just happened to check out my stuff and saw I was outbid. Figured what the heck,its a Ferrari and went and put another bid in on it, never looked at time remaining. OK, here's the unbelievable part:

I sniped it with 1 second to go and beat his high bid by one penny!!!!!

If I would have delayed just one more second, I never would have gotten it....... its just so cool because I wasn't even trying..... sorry Gabe, but I gotta have those Ferraris

1 Second Snipe

Yeah but Klavy 69 wants to know why you never foned (sic) him? Seems he won a bid and you forget to remind him. What kind of e-bayer are you anyway?

OK, yea, my only negative....... I should chase him down?? I don't think so! 6 emails, ebay payment reminder, non paying bidder notice - he doesn't get any of those, but he was instantly emailing me when I put that negative on him.... 'nuff said

Besides, I don't know that I have ever seen a "fone"

Yeah I know. I thought it was funny. Lucky for you, you already had a proven track record. My first bite came on buy #3. The guy lost my box in his pick-up truck for a month. A month! He was paid within three days so I threaten collection on him. Gives me a negative. That was the end of my e-bay days. Been doing TTP ever since.
