The "I just bought a – " celebration thread

YES! Hahaha! I just won the IVEP Riser for $50 less than retail! Oh my goodness, I’m still shaking. I haven’t sniped in half a year!

[TrottierJS]

Damn e-bay snipers! I got outbid at the very last second on both spectrals!!!! 😈

[Maria]

Aw, Trottier! One of the damned was me! 😆 I’ll show you pictures of my Riser when he comes.

[TrottierJS]

ha ha nice! I know you were one. I was the one that put in 125 just before you out bid me with the 127 argh!!! My computer is just not quick enough to catch anything Windstone puts out on Ebay. 🙄

[Maria]

I had actually put in a high bid of $315.15! The last two went for $310 and $330. I was so sure this would crack $300. I’m so happy. I got such a great deal. 😀

[TrottierJS]

Where do you get all this money from????

[Maria]

Babysitting and office work!
Actually, I’d saved for this trip for months. Unfortunately, I’m rather over my daily average allowance. 😳
But, I’ve got guaranteed work when I get home, so if I end up spending too much – and I’ll really try not to – I can pay back into my account or Mom and Dad. It’ll work.

I’m sorry – I’m the other damned one! 🙁 I was the one who outbid you on the Sitting IVEP Spectral. If it is any consolation, I was outbid on the IVEP lap because I bid 15 seconds too early. I know how it feels.

GB, are you sure about what the last one went for? Sorry to question, but I thought the last Riser went for something like $240. (Maybe I’m thinking of another auction.) 😕

Oh, you’re elven3000, Silver? I thought that was pegasi. Congrats to you. 😀

Thank you! Yep, that’s me. Unlike others, I have to be difficult and have a different forum and ebay name.
