Ebay and Alcohol don't mix
Posted By: Matt R
I'm not an alcoholic during the week, but when the weekend rolls around I like to down some beers and just be a couch potato. Unfortunately I often find myself on e-bay bidding on stuff that I really can't afford at the moment. I'm sweating out one auction for a card right now because I'm in the lead with one day left and my max bid is quite a bit higher than the current bid. I've got car insurance due this month that I completely forgot about that when I placed my bid. I'm not the type of person that is not going to pay for an item I win. If I win it, I'll have to pay with a credit card and then turn around and re-list it on e-bay to recover hopefully most of my money. |

Why Not Retract your bid? And Cut your CC's Up! And Not Drink while driving your computer! And Read ebay's rules covering this area! And.....Wait a minute? What does this have to do with PreWar Cards? Nuttin'..... |

Please be careful about too many off topic threads being started. The ratio of vintage card started threads to off topic ones should be about 10-20 to 1, at least. There is a blurb in the forum rules about it though it's not real specific on purpose. And you don't need to chime in about how you hate PSA on threads either, at least for a while, we all understand how you feel. |

Just like donating money to "Save the Children", reading this thread made me feel just a little bit better about myself. |

And it is 10-20 to 1 ON topic to Off Topic not the other way around. |

Leon, the item in question is a vintage baseball card. Maybe I should have mentioned that first. This one in particular: |

Why not retract your bid, put in another bid that you are comfortable with? The last thing you should have done was identify what the auction was because from what I can tell you have a lot of people who are not fond of you and will now run you up. |

You could always sell a PSA 8 Topps Gary Templeton and recoup $200. |

OK, I get the point. No matter what I post everyone is going to jump all over me for it. I posted about collector's insurance last week and had several people e-mail me asking for more details which I happily provided. So I obviously assisted someone with my post. But I see how things are turning out around here so I'm gone. It's funny though, what did all of the people from the PSA board who followed me over here contribute? My first post over here concerned a 1933 Goudey Ruth which certainly is on topic for this board. I was then attacked by the mobs from the PSA board. It's a little odd that the PSA mobs were accepted and I was not. Oh well, I'm going back to my favorite powerlifting board to hang out with the muscle heads. They're a lot more fun to chat with. Hasta lluego. |

I have been in the same situation, occassionally, bidding on items when drinking too much. This is one of the main reasons why I snipe everything now. It gives me time to rethink everything when I sober up. It is much easier and less embarassing to cancel a snipe, than sweat out an auction hoping you do not win it, or worse...retracting the bid. (a sure way to get a seller to block you from future bids). |
