I am making
this post as the time dwindles on down to zero and am using this post to kill
time while it grinds away.
I found a
pretty good pair of NOS lineman’s boots up for grabs and I think I’ll snag them
so as to be ready for this fall and winter. They are listed as waterproof and
should serve me well come Old Man Winter.
The truth is
I am not going to bid any higher than the minimum bid because these are not
needed, they are simply ‘nice to have’.
On some
things I throw out a minimum bid and either I get it or I don’t and either way
it’s no skin off of my nose. One time I made $50 on a purchase. Someone was
looking over my shoulder and said “I’d give $100 for that item”.
I asked him
if he was serious and then threw a minimum bid on it. Then I went and set up an
automatic bid of $85 because shipping was about $15 and I wanted to keep the
total under $100.
I’ll be
damned if I didn’t snag the item for about $35. Add the $15 shipping and it
totaled $50. I resold it to him for $100.
That wasn’t
a bad deal if you ask me.
Anyway, I am
down to under 15 minutes and there don’t seem to be any other bidders out
there. I have to check a few things out and I’ll be right back.
Nope. Didn’t
get the boots. Someone sniped me and bought them for a buck more than I was
willing to pay.
