osodecanelaJust logged on to eBay to check the status of an auction, and thereafter spent 2 minutes on my hands and knees trying to find the contact that popped out, when my eyes bloody well bugged out of my head. I'm simply dumbfounded.
Day before yestereday, I saw a sieve attachment for a Kitchen Aid, which I thought would be nice, especially if I choose to make jams or jellies in the future. The thing would actually serve as a press powered by the mixer. I put in a snipe bid.
Well a little bit ago, I remembered the auction closed at around noon. I'd looked at the item first thing this morning when I checked my email, and upped my snipe bid thought to $72.50. There had been two buyers having a small bidding war. I figured while they were nickle and diming one another, I'd leave a bid roughly $25 higher and just be done with it.
When logging on, I had a bit of buyers remorse, thinking with shipping I would be paying just over $80. Imagine my surpise to find the thing went for $181.38! Two bids, including the winning one came in seconds after mine, which registered 10 seconds before the auction closed. In 10 seconds the price went up over $100.
Now this has to be one happy eBay seller tonight.
