I received an email from an underbidder a few days ago. His delightful message was: "Snipers suck, enjoy your item" I was really floored. I emailed the seller and expressed my opinion (which is the right one, by the way!) that it is called an "auction" because the item is up for grabs till the bitter end. She agreed with me. If the disgruntled underbidder doesn't want any competition, he should only go for buy it nows or just go to the rassin' frassin' mall and buy the item retail! sheesh! I'm a really nice lady, but I want my widgets, and I'll go in the back door to get 'em! I've lost many an auction myself at the last minute, and it is a disappointment, sure, but folks, remember one thing.....it's only STUFF. Keep smilin!
