Oops!

The other day I used esnipe to bid on another Apollo. Kind of an investment thingie as I thought if I could get it cheap enough I could resell it at Xmas.

But I thought better of it & cancelled my esnipe. Well, it seems esnipe didnt want to cancel & it bid on it anyway. And won!

I cancelled about 5 or so minutes before the end & it even cleared it off of my esnipe list. Dunno what happened, but it looks like I get to choose from 2 Apollos!

How 'bout that...

Wow! BIG BUG!

That's enough right there to keep me away from that program. You cancel it and you still own it? Or are you going to have Esnipe buy it for you? Hmm?

[doodude]

Imagine my surprise as Im watching to see if someone snipes it at the last second & my name pops up!

HUH!? What the...!?

Its kinda funny, even if it did happen to me!

Not sure what Im going to do. Dont want to cancel the purchase.

Anyone want an Apollo?

Happy Birthday Doo. esnipe says you can cancel up to 5 minutes before the end of the auction. Maybe you completed the process at 4:59

[doodude]

Yeah, I was just reading the instructions.

It was my fault afterall. Even tho' it deleted the bid from my list it was done at 4:29 before the end of the bid. So I was 31 seconds of the safe mark!

Hee hee hee, you just gotta laugh!

Hope you got a good price.

Hope you got a good price.

I did get a good price.

Its not as good as my earlier price but $25 more is still a good price.

Its my stupid meter thats high!

Gee Doo, does your job ever bring you to SE PA?

I saw that snipe, doo! I was wondering why you got another one. Maybe it was my recent review that pushed you over the edge... haha. Either way, you'll have no problem selling this one later in the year. Just keep it until Slotusa runs out of their supply. The demand should be higher.

With the price I got on it Im not too upset about it. My original intent was to sell it during the Xmas holidays for a profit. And even if that didnt work out I can hang onto it & sell it eventually or even keep it for a back up myself. If I like this one better than I liked the Penguin, & by all accounts I will, Ill be glad to have the 2nd one some day.
My real concern is the little woman! She's starting to look crosseyed at me everytime another one comes in. Ive already told her Im selling half my heard come Xmas & thats kept her mollified. But with 3 more coming in I may be living in the boxes in the back yard!!!

[shiftdelete]

Yeah, I only have 2. I have room for 1 more, but I'm trying to finish my music studio, and that takes all my $$$ and space. I may eventually sell 1 of my machines, and replace it with a new one next summer. We'll have to see.

Oh no Doo! That would not be a good thing.
