A fool and his money...

Never trade for something which you're bidding for on ebay, thinking you won't win because you always get outbid at the last moment anyway, even after dozens of tries. It's the surest way to win, folks, and at a price you're guaranteed to feel really dumb paying now that you've already got one.

Mou... that's what the option called "watch this auction is for." It's the best way to snipe bids. Also... I WON MY AUCTION~ Woo hoo! GI joes will be winging their way to me in a cardboard coffin as soon as I pay the man. :D

I know, but the option to trade came up literally within hours of the auction's end and I wasn't near a computer. Since my maximum bid price was already reached and it was for an L5R card that's in high demand right now, I figured it best not to take chances and go with the trade. It's not so bad, really, as now I have an extra of the card for trade bait, or I can sell it again later. I just found it amusing, that's all. Congrats on your win! I look forward to working with our new stars *wink wink*
