At least he was a good shot.... (It was painless??)

It has happened to me too. (Others-not Rick) It is part of the game. If you are on dial up it is just harder to play to win.

I've had it happen to me by people I know and done it to them. It's no big deal. I just move on to the next item.

I believe that is the concept of auctions.

That is exactly the nature of auctions. It's all fair game. It's even tougher for us Mako Shark fans, because most of us hang out together and want the same things... can't worry about such stuff too much. There are more important things in life.

Well said david! I've lost items also, but all is fair. Increase your odds and get DSL. Faster is better, cars and internet! Roger

A friend of mine was telling me the other day u can buy sniper programs that will do the work for u and place bids at the very last possible second.

Guess it is the nature of the beast of auctions... u r gonna get beat some times!!!

If you really want to purchase something contact the seller directly and make him and offer.

Happy Bidding!!!
