Uh oh! I just bid a maximum of 50 dollars instead of 50 cents on an eBay item! I sure hope not many other people bid on this item. At first I freaked since I thought that was my bid, and then I remembered it’d bid up to that amount. There’s only a little bit of time left so cross your fingers for me!
LATER: Whew! No one bid higher than the 50 cents!!! It was just for a Beowulf (Neil Gaiman and Roger Avery) movie tie-in advance six page comic that I thought might be interesting. This guy was charging a little more for shipping ($4) than the others so no one even beat my 50 cent bid….
I had my best friend make the first bid on an item I was selling on eBay instead of setting a starting point.
After a few days, I started wishing I hadn’t done that because I would have been happy to sell to the No. bidder.
I made my friend pull his bid and make up a story. :)
Luckily, the bidding surpassed my friend’s number and I made a decent sale.
