So I saw this card on eBay and as you all already know, I don't care for game used cards unless it's a sick patch and even then I would rather spend the same money for an autograph. You also already know that I hate plain swatches on any card with a passion. So why did I end up with this 2011 Topps Marquee Titanic Threads card?
Well... I saw that the auction was ending within a few minutes of doing one of my 2478534897537903490 daily Cano searches and decided that I was not going to let someone else steal it for what started at $3.25.
I bid $5.50... outbid. OK, I don't even want it. But then I bid again without even thinking about what I was doing.
I bid $8.00... outbid. I really don't even like this friggin card...
I bid $10.00.... outbid. Now I am just annoyed because either I let someone else have it cheaper than I think it would end for with just like 2 minute remaining or I...
Bid $15.00... you are the current high bidder at $13.05 with 6 seconds remaining.... tick tock tick tock tick tock. You won!
F---ing wonderful.
I started out mad that it was too cheap to not steal and ended up mad that I got sucked into a card I don't like. This is what is called stupidity for those kids reading at home.
#LOSING!
That's sad. :(
ReplyDeleteAddiction is a terrible thing...
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad ... been there, and done that.
ReplyDeleteDidn't get a t-shirt, but I do have the cards to prove it, unfortunately.
And GCA is right - sometimes it's hard NOT to bid on something you're lukewarm on to begin with, and don't really want. I've been DESPERATELY happy when I've lost a bid ... more than once! (saved from my own folly)
I mean... at least it wasn't a skid-marked jock strap. :\
ReplyDeleteebay remorse, we have all been there.
