Nerves are being PLUCKED!!!

Recommended Posts

So ok after hours of reading this forum and finally deciding on which cutter to finally get I decided to do the smart thing and go to uscutter EBAY store, I mean if I can save a few bucks why not?:rolleyes: So I bid on a cutter...doing the happy dance because I'm the high bidder, keep checking the item, yup still the highest bidder, an hour later STILL the highest bidder, wow 5 minutes left.....I have been outbid!!!! WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!? Anxiously I up my bid by 5.00, no go, ok another 10.00, ahhhh....3 minutes to go, high bidder, before my eyes I'm outbid AGAIN!!! your kidding me right?;)? only ONE flippin minute left!!! I'm trying to hurry and get another bid in.....::::whew::::: ok, 30 seconds left and I'm the high bidder......counting down and holy sh*t, it changed again!!!! Heart is racing, I cant hardly push the keys fast enough, hit enter and oh hell.....I lost...;) The feelings that came over me, lets just say its a good thing the WINNER wasnt sitting across from me because  I ( not a violent person by any means) woulda smacked the hell out him/her!!!!!!

I have NEVER bought anything off EBAY so this was my very first experience!! They should warn you how mad you will get if you dont win the auction..LMAO!!!

I got over it and am waiting on another one to close where I have been the high bidder for 2 hours...lol, knowing this can change at last nano second LOL I am READY!!!!!!!

Got my fingers crossed and my next bid ready should I get outbid YET again!!!

wish my luck!!!!

Renee <------plucked nerves and anxiously waiting!!!!

Here is some easy Ebay advice. Bid in the last 14 seconds and set your bid amount to max you are willing to pay for that item.

You WILL win more  :rolleyes:

Have fun,

Jon

I always bid the maximum, and leave it. I won't go over my maximum. If I win, I win. If I don't, I keep trying.

Or buy direct from US Cutter & not have those emotions . I don't think there is alot of savings considering the extra warranty buying direct . On e-bay many people ( me included ) bid the max with 4 seconds to go if they don't use the autosnipe software .

+1. I learned a long time ago, it just stresses me out too much to try and sniper bids. I don't like be snipered either, but there isn't a dang thing I can do about that (sigh).

Bid you max and if you were outbid, well you weren't willing to pay that amount anyway, but you can at least take pleasure in the fact that you made someone else pay more than you. Hahahahaha. (Insert evil smile)

I've gone to bed many times thinking I didn't have a chance,only to wake up and find that I had won. Let fate guide you,that's what I say. As the great Doris Day sang...what will be,will be.

Thanx all! I'm excited about it, and yes, While I was wanting to smack the person that outbid me it did make me feel good that they had to pay MORE...whats even sweeter is the one I actually won was CHEAPER! LOL!!! I got the pcut 24 inch CTN 630E. I currently have a roland sticka 12 and with all the biz I have been doing I desperatly needed a larger cutter. I was wasting ALOT of vinyl as the roland sticka will only take 12 inch vinyl.

I have d/l the signblazer trial and I'm going to try and learn my way around it before the cutter gets here. I know one things for sure, if i have any questions or problems I know you all will help me. This is a great place!

thanx for being here!

also if you buy direct you save on shipping, the ebay store you pay, i dont know, what, $50 shipping and if you go direct you only pay $9.99.... thats 9.99 to ship a whole  cutter to your door. How can you beat that?
