I just won this auction....

[Dr_Righteous]

Speaking of Ebay rants, I'd like to take this opportunity to say very nasty things about whoever just beat me out of an auction using a sniper program. But I won't. I have many vile thoughts in my head and heart I would like to express about this person. But I won't. I will say I am disappointed that someone in this community would do something like that do another member. And I am taking every step I can think of to prevent this type of thing.

Same *$%)er got you too eh? Yeah, same auction for me too. I messaged the seller asking them to reject the bid. We'll see.

@TjLaZer

Sniping is wrong. Period. I don't mind being outbid, that's fine and fair. But sniping is totally against the spirit of eBay, and is probably against their AUP. And if it's not, I will personally see to it that it becomes so.

Thus the reason *I* bid $10 for it. OS3.5 is only worth $10 to me. IMHO you'd be getting ripped off paying $41, since for $47 you can buy OS3.9. I figured what the hell.

Like I said, I don't mind being outbid. My max bid is what I'm willing to pay... But maybe I'd like the opportunity to reconsider. Bidding wars are what auctions are all about. Sniping is unfair (tho much to my chagrin IS actually acceptable policy to eBay) to both legitimate bidder and seller alike.

I respect your opinion on it Tj, but I can't abide it.

That said, I encourage all eBay sellers here to include no-sniping policies in their auctions. Also, sniper victims, please write a letter of complaint to eBay about their policy on sniping.

Is that the peace sign? Or are you giving your laptop "the fingers?" :roflmao:
