Can't believe I missed out on this tonight....
« on: November 13, 2008, 20:24 »
I have been watching this item on ebay for the past few days, lengths of 2" x 1" thinking I would put a last minute bid in for it.
I left it too late with less than a minute to go, my laptop decided to shut itself down  :(  I had forgoten to plug in the charger.... DOH!!

Did you not realise that "men need wood" so he probably didn't get further than just knowing he needed it :lol:  :lol:

Hit the nail on the head... I just like to build stuff! It would have been great for supporting the netting over my bassica's or for fastening the felt on to my new shed, or for building a frame for my peas or even for just knowing I had it to use on something... anything...  :D

you may have dodged a bullet though, Andy;  you'd have had to pay hods for the delivery all the way from Warminster so it wouldn't have been that much of a bargain in the end anyway!

console yourself with the thought that it's karma and because of the delivery costs it was never meant to be  :)

to avoid any future forgotten auction you may wish to consider using auction sniping software such as can be found at auctionsniper.com

I make sure I get messages sent to my mobile as well if I'm really serious about wanting something. Not going to help the laptop though, I know.

I've tried that - doesn't work if someone else also has "sniped" - at least _ I wasted all 3 of my "free" snipes and won nothing!
