Re: ebay grizzle
My gripe is the sniper software. I admit: I've sat at my PC until the last moment and then submitted a last-second bid for a book I wanted, but at least I am putting in the effort. I can accept being outbid - even at the last minute if it's by a human - but getting beaten by a program (and some lazy SOB who won't put in the time) is what frosts me - where's the sport in that? As for the prices, I gripe when I'm outbid for a book I really wanted, but I accept that because I set my upper limit - if someone wants to pay more, what can I say. And don't forget, if Mr. Moneybags has to bid 500 euros or dollars to win, that means someone else was willing to pay almost that amount too.
