Bartsfam Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Back on January 12, this auction ended with zero bidders. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 260719819770 It was for a Colecovision steering wheel,controllers, plus a few games. If you checked closely, most of the games were pretty rare!! I put the auction in my watch list, and then forgot about it. At the end it had zero bids. I could have won some pretty rare stuff for .99 plus free shipping. I emailed the company and asked them to re-list, hoping it would slide through again for .99 cents. I was hoping no one would look closely at the rare games in the background. Boy was I wrong. It got relisted. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 260723409110 Now I bid,up to $65. But, this time it sold for almost $215!! I did not even come close to the winning bid. I hesitated the first time, and now I got NOTHING!! He who hesitates is lost!

atari2atari Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Auctionsniper.com . . . Saves my bacon every time. Set your limit, and forget about it . . . ! Rough, though, I feel you pain. That looks like a SWEET set! -a2a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yeah, no kiddin'...I had that first auction in my watch list and forgot to bid on it...damn damn damn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odysseus Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Click on where it says 0 bids. You will see that the seller ended the auction early and there were 4 bids on it. You wouldnt have gotten it for .99 anyway so dont worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartsfam Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Thanks for pointing that out. That makes me feel a little better. I thought I lost out on a good deal. I wish EBay showed a little clearer that it was canceled by the seller. I thought that it just ended cleanly without anyone bidding on it....

Odysseus Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I know i hate the way they show canceled bids. Ive had the same "how did i miss this" moments because of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
