The Overpaying Thread

[mouschi]

Remember that old Circuit City Commercial? The one where the kid comes into the store.

"Excuse me, sir? Last week, I bought this. But today, I saw this. "
(Shows an advertisement for his same item advertised for less than he paid for his item.)

"I just opened the paper and there it was."

The clerk happily opens the register and gives him the difference. The child is merrily on his way, without feeling like a knucklehead because he overpaid.

Oh, how I wish it were that way with eBay! Last year, A card was up forever for $325 or so. I talked the seller down, and with 5x eBay bucks, I probably ended up getting it for $175. The problem? A week later, another came up and sold for about $100. :doh: I haven't seen another before or since.

Has this happened to you? Share!
