A major boo-boo: snipers be warned

tonboMember

I was bidding on an auction in British pounds.

The auction was around 35--pounds, that is--when I placed my snipe amount, of $119. That's about 70 pounds.

But Auction Sniper thought I was placing a bid with 119 pounds!!!!

No wonder I won the auction! The itemsells for $119 retail, so I overpaid by around $20, not including shipping!

Still, in this case it all worked out. I really wanted the item, a rarity on eBay, and actually had the balance available in my PayPal account.

But be forewarned! Be careful what currency to bid in--because you might win it!

Every day above ground is a GOOD day
