Default anybody else oops...like I did?

Posted By: Joann

Yes it has! And oddly, my "ooops's" seem to come in waves - I'll oops 2 or 3 things in about 2 weeks, then not again for a few months.

A lot of times I put placeholder bids that are above nominal. I'll put them on what I think is the low side of medium, if that makes any sense. My rule of thumb for one of these (not really going for it, but also not a $2.50 bookmark bid) is that even if I don't really want the card I would be happy to get it at that bid.

I don't know why I will accidentally win a few things in a few weeks - get braver maybe? Or maybe I just don't know what the heck some of the things are worth.

Oh, and Pete? Ironically, one of my classic ooops was that 69 card T206 beater lot that I won from your ebay auction about a year ago. I actually did okay with it once I listed the Cobb in the SGC-A holder. So all's well that ends well. Good luck on the BST!
