First off, you guys are driving me nuts throwing around the C-notes on the mugs and menus! :lol: There are only a few mugs I'm really looking for anymore but the bids are too crazy for me. Menus are insane.

Second, you really should snipe on something important. At least manually snipe as late as you can if you're worried about esnipe (I've never used an auto sniper myself so I don't know what kind of problems you were worried about).

Third, if you check your nemesis' ID history you'll find that you got taken by old maxifac. A bigtime ebay tiki high roller. I have heard (here) that maxifac is an alter ego for kohalacharms. I dunno if that's true but at least you got beat by a known "tiki player." His first bid beat you but then he still went in and put in another. God knows how much. $500? More?

Fourth, I DO feel your pain. ALWAYS bid as late as you can! You see how maxifac bid twice? That means he bid and then reconsidered. You must not let your enemy reconsider! It may not have mattered in this case but it's just good practice. Hope you find another one soon for $5!
