A christmas eBay story (sorry if this is SPAM)

#1

Twas three weeks before christmas, and all through the net,
Everyone was shopping, especially girls named "Brigette"
eBay was hopping busy, so they could buy
All kinds of stuff, without losing an eye,
dodging shoppers in the mall,
and even the hall.
A man was selling a PS2 with alot of games (Including KINGDOM HEARTS!!!) and a memory card,
and who was the highest bidder? Nope, Not Captian Picard,
'Twas I! I was the highest bidder for 10 days.
9 days....
4 days.....
1 day.....
1 hour.....
30 minutes.....
10 seconds and.....
SOMEBODY OUTBID ME??? HOW??? HOW?? HOW? WHY??? ARRRGGGGHHHHHHH!
I Hit control alt Delete in a rage,
And the computer restarted.
Typical Christmas shopping on eBay. Someone always outbids you at the last NANOSECOND!
Maybe I will be better off looking at Best Buy,
Because eBay is too intense.


Sorry if that is SPAM, but I felt like I HAD to get this out somewhere. I was bidding only 150 dollars for that, and then that idiot strikes bidding at 151 dollars. If I find out who did that, I'll personally put THEM up for Sale on eBay.

That joke was in FoxTrot.
But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Yes, but I noticed that the recent Foxtrot Joke was very familliar to what had happened about a few minutes before I posted that. I'm still sorry if this is SPAM, I just was so frustrated I had to get it out of my system.

Oh Jay, you can just lock this topic. I don't think I should have even posted it here in the first place....

This is why when my mom bids for something for me, she does it when there's less than a minute left.

No, it was not me who asked for a bid on that. The latest thing I got was Soul Blazer from earlier this week (got it yesterday... good, but not as good as ActRaiser)

What they do, when it says like 30 seconds left, they type the information of biddding, and you kinda count in your head to around 5-10 seconds, and then you hit enter and send the information. yep. me and my dad do it alot.
