I need more water bottles to add to my water bottle cabinet!
$1.99
How do people decide on the amount if they can only bid once?
Where do you get that they can bid only once?
Finally my hard work pays off \o/
@Crab good job, royalties already in use I see.
Damn I got robbed
Still don't know what I was bidding for though
Sorry, I was just thinking. It's not even an idea.
Think this perfectly sums up what's gone wrong tonight.
You were bidding on some good laughs and long-lasting memories!
It kind of makes sense to bid once (or else we take the earliest bid) - it is a luck of the draw in trying to "pick" in the range expected or wanted by the host.
Otherwise we'll just get into a spam war with everyone just putting numbers all over the place, again defeating the spirit of the event.
The way things are, things escalate very quickly and we get out of the "value" territory of the deal. A lot of the spirit of BF has to do with snagging something at a great "value" price.
We really don't want everyone to have buyers remorse (or just give up on the deal after a month) - ideally you want them to hang on to the deal with the usual "you can pry it out of my cold dead hands" attitude.
yesterday everyone was bidding +0.01 at a time and sniping deals was so fun
I agree. It's almost exactly what I said word-for-word-just-with-more-words.
While it lasted and then it quickly escalated by rather big leaps.
I did the opposite of a tl;dr
Foreplay?
dont worry im here for deals, just waiting on some later entries
As long as it's not foul play.
Why? That's probably legal in more states than fowl play.
You gotta keep economy going and money moving!
It's just a shell game with the money shuffling sideways.
NEXT AUCTION
Since I got called a pussy, it's gonna be big.
For the rest of you that are looking for just a little slice of linux iso storage stick around to the end. It's going to the fastest fingers. @user123 it's even in your budget.
Only to keep the spirit alive. This thread has really been great in the sense of actively engaging and inviting participation from the usual bystanders and lurkers. When things go hyper here, even the main thread goes quiet. That's quite a statement.
I think @crunchbits has really embodied the spirit of the BF engagement and throwing things out there.
It's nice to be able to give everyone a chance at fair participation and not have them worry about their wallets (too much!).
Tell me more </Sigmund Freud>
you're correct... crunchbits is definitely the winner this BF and I can't wait to see what cyber monday brings
what is the point?
Aka the tip
Just the Tip!
It doesn't count. Unless you want it to.
