    Ridiculous Ebay auction win

    Not my listing but wanted to relate an ebay story:



    A few days ago, I "searched" for scrap computer components and put "beginning" bids on several. First two ended today. I wound up getting both. For the first one, I upped my "High Bid" by a dollar to get it. Second one was 22 pounds of wiring and cables with $17.85 shipping and my starting bid of 0.99. I got it for the opening bid. I hadn't read through the description till it was almost over. He'd intended to start at $9.99!!! So I emailed him asking what he wanted to do but I'd stand by my bid if he wanted. He honored the mistake. The sad part is that I didn't really care if I got it or not. I'd put in minimum bids on several with "High Bid" which doesn't show until someone outbids me. Just that nobody else bid.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
