And to my way of thinking, conveniently forgetting to mention a flaw is just as bad as blatantly lying about it. I'm tired of that too.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-84333254417460776142012-08-23T13:22:36.965-05:002012-08-23T13:22:36.965-05:00Kingfisher is beautiful!

I'm so tired of eBay sellers neglecting to discloses flaws on items. There are deals to be had on eBay, but I've been ripped off several times. Right now I have an MIA seller that I purchased a Cathrineholm piece from a couple of weeks ago. I have a feeling that I'm going to have to file a complaint.

For literally pennies they will bid my proxy in the last five seconds of the auction. I would probably get something from them if I "officially" referred you but I don't care. Just want to pass along what works for me. What I especially love about it is, once I find the item I set up the snipe with the proxy bid that I am comfortable with. Then I forget about it. That way I don't get caught up in the "moment" and overbid and regret it later. If the item gets bid up higher than my prearranged snipe, I get an email alerting me this has happened. Then you can rethink your snipe. I usually just move on. There is always another auction down the pike :->Georgia Peachezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08388420038047460892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-81748653964357698082012-08-22T17:05:41.581-05:002012-08-22T17:05:41.581-05:00Sounds like a plan.

Of course, I felt better that I didn't have to keep kicking myself anymore too.<br /><br />There's just something magical about Big Chief tablets for me. I kept scrolling through my own post yesterday, just looking at the pictures, and I swear I felt like I was right back at East Ward Elementary on the first day of school.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-13619031486783923342012-08-22T17:02:22.291-05:002012-08-22T17:02:22.291-05:00You might consider going to your mother's home...You might consider going to your mother's home wearing a mask and pretending you're a burglar...one who is only looking for Pollo vases.

I'd say it's easing past obsession and coming close to neurosis. :) But I'll find one eventually.
