Re: Have you ever accidentally won an auction?
I was looking at a bat earlier in the week and thought that I had found a "hidden gem". I immediately set a snipe. After bugging Jim and Mike with an endless supply of questions, they assured me that it was just a store model bat.
I just happened to look at the auction tonight and saw that someone else had bid on it. I watched the auction just to see where it went and was stunned when my snipe fired and I won it. I forgot to cancel the snipe!
What a dummy!

Just Happened This Morning
In the past I foolishly bid a ridiculous amount of money on a pair of Reggie Bush cleats, I sweated that one out for a few hours before someone outbid me in the last few minutes...This morning I had a $5.00 on a Dennis Dixon autographed 8x10 (QB for Oregon)...Someone out bid me and I have no idea why, but I put in a $40.00 maximum bid...Stupid.

Re: Have you ever accidentally won an auction?
haha, no drinking here. At first glance, I thought that I had a gamer hidden away in a mislabled auction so I threw a $50 snipe on it so as not to lose it. Later in the week, I found out that it was a store model bat but I forgot to cancel the snipe. I outbid someone else by .09 !!!!!! Now I'm trying to see if the other bidder wants it as I really dont. If not, I'll just pay the seller and relist it properly and hope for the best at recouping my money!
Lesson learned!

Re: Have you ever accidentally won an auction?
Were you imbibing in adult beverage when you won this bat? And how much did this beauty cost you? Vintagedep, you got off light. Think how I felt the morning after my first marriage. I thought I had a real prize too. I'm still paying for that old bat.
