Wish me luck

I am biding my time for the next two hours waiting for an ebay auction to end. It is a piece of equipment I really want, that I can hope to build a small business from.

The one I have been wanting costs $900. This one in the auction has hardly been used, and it is two levels above the other, retail $2000. This morning the bid was $350, and people have been minimum bidding back and forth and raised it to $450. I hope they stop because.....

My strategy is to wait until the last minute, go in there and bid $650 and they won't be able to nickle and dime catch me, and I will get a steal! It seems like all the bidders are pretty new to ebay, so I am hoping they haven't got alot of clues how the bidding works, cause even though it is worth more I can't really go any higher.....

Hopefully Little Missy won't be screaming her head off right at that moment in time, I will be so bummed if I miss it.

oooh good luck DM!!! i hope you get it what is it for? and what kind of business are you planning? how exciting though!

Good luck,I hate ebay,I have a couple of things for sale on there right now! LOL

Oooooh, good luck! I LOVE eBay! Both buying and selling.

Your strategy is a great one. Last March or April I found a dirt bike I wanted on eBay and miracles of miracles it was hardly used and was only 3 hours away. I waited and waited and waited until just a couple of minutes before it ended before I submitted my one and only bid, with my maximum considerably higher than the current bid. A couple of others tried to get in over me, but I won in the end, and still well below my max. I was literally dancing around the house afterwards!

I can hardly wait to see how it turns out for you!

Awww, I didn't get it. Somebody with more money had the same idea I did and won. Sigh. It went too high anyhow, I shouldn't have even bid. I would have been sooooo in the doghouse with the husband if I had actually won.

Grrrrr......

It was a graphics cutter/plotter. Sorta like a cricut, only no cartridges or anything, and a much more commercial one that you draw what you want to cut. I have been toying with making custom photo albums and cards, and kits. I love the assembly of the actual things -- I HATE scrapbooking so I make all these cool things and then never use them - usually I give them away as presents. My friends and family all like to scrap book but don't have the art interest to fiddle with the part I love - so I was thinking of doing a little and see how it goes.

One project I am just waiting for the paper to work on is a baby planner shower book, that you can then turn around and give to the person the shower is for as a keepsake. After I make one next week I will put photos on to see what y'all think of it.

Awwww, I'm sorry. Are you going to continue looking for one? Sounds interesting.
