I'm not so upset that I was outbid. Like I said I had to go to work I figured I'd be outbid. I kinda hoped that because little interest was shown in it I may have got lucky with less then a hour to go.

When I got home in the morning and checked I expected the winning bid to be up to 30 or 40 dollars But $17.50?? For a General Ape? If I could have waited those 45 mins I could have got it for $20 maybe. Obviously Ursus did slip under alot of collectors radar. Not going to have luck like that again for a while.

I have a question about how you bid. If you lost by 50 cents, that means you bid $17 and you bid it early. Okay, that's cool. But if you would have bid $20 if you would have had 45 more minutes wouldn't that have been a last minute bid? And if you were willing to pay $20, why didn't you bid $20 when you placed the $17 bid?

I'm not ragging on you, just trying to figure out the logic here. If bidding late is "bad", then isn't upping your bid at the last minute? Isn't it the same thing?

The whole point of my gripe was that it didnt go any higher Not that I lost. I knew because I went to work I couldnt snipe the auction. Other wise I would have sat there to see what the competition did then fire away the last min.

If I bid what I had (And I'm close to being broke right now so it couldnt have gone more then $20 anyway)) It would have been 1 upped anyway with an hour to go . Like I said it was wishful thinking that Ursus would continue to evade notice. I just cant believe the guy who beat me got away with 17.50. If your going to be out bid its better to lose by alot.

Im not the original poster he had the problem with trolls...errrr snipers.

Ahhh, okay, I'm mixing my thread responses. Sorry. That's why it wasn't making sense. I couldn't figure out how someone who didn't like last minute bidding would be bummed they couldn't get home in time to make a last minute bid. Now it's all clicking. Hey, takes me awhile sometimes to catch up.
