Re: eBay sucks

["Chris M" <pb1113@hotmail.com>]

When I bid on something on ebay I ask myself, "what's the absolute maximum
that I'm willing to pay for this thing and still think I got a good deal?"
That's the amount I put in the maximum bid entry and leave it there.  If
some asshole (winners are always assholes....hehe)  wants to outbid me, more
power to him.  I don't let it bug me too much.  Just chill out and hope for
the best...that is what I think is the best way to use ebay...

(and yes, I do win one once in a while..)
