!!!!! Ebay rant. #1443929 11/24/05 01:53 PM

It sat there, me being the SOLE bidder for the last 5 days. Then, while the wife and I were out and about, some [censored] comes in and outbids me with 2 hours left in the auction. I bet he's going to turn around and re-auction the manual for more than what he paid for because judging by his feedback he's an ebay "pro". Ticks me the [censored] off.

You must have skipped over this part "Then, while the wife and I were out and about, some [censored] comes in and outbids me with 2 hours left in the auction." I didn't find out about it until AFTER the auction was over.

I did use proxy bidding, but they still bid higher, so technically I shouldn't complain ... but I feel your frustration! Matthew 2000 Nissan Maxima SE Sold: 98.5 Contour SE V6 ATX
