Alzheimers strikes

[Mumbles]

Doh!So much for 'items I'm watching'...I could have sworn I put a maximum bid in for 'Kites Are Fun' by the Free Design on E Bay.O.K. it's obviously not in the best of nick but surely good enough to plug the gap.Look what it went for...

Bugger! Anyone got a spare?

O.K.The link didn't work.The end price was $2.99.I console myself that the buyer probably put in a maximum bid of of $50

bugger. that's a bit of a steal.  

but it happens to us all. maybe it's time to stick stickers all over the house with the item numbers and bid times on...

If I miss the end of an auction (which is often as I am a bit of a sniper...) and it hasn't has any other bids, I always email the seller and make them a reasonable offer. I always make this out as if I'm doing them a favour, taking it off their hands, sometimes the bite, sometimes they don't.
