Not a big deal but your post #3 ("I will win it") seems to say otherwise. Some advice I think 99% here will give you is to not tell before you kiss.

Edited to add: Not hating on you, just giving some advice I think will help in the long run.

You are right but since it is out of the bag I will pass on the bat if it goes over my low limit on it and simply move on...my mistake!!!

Adrian strikes me as a sort of "idiot savant", where we will all ridicule him for buying cards at too high a price, and then they will all quintuple in value... or he will announce what he is bidding on, but instead of attracting other bidders, it scares everyone away and he gets the item very inexpensively.

It is as if he has some sort of supernatural power alongside him that makes all his purchases work out against expectation.

I just hope Adrian realizes that Auctions actually require payment at some point, and they tend to frown when one changes their mind.

Well, you got a sweet Mantle card, I'll say that much... it was a steal at that price.

I don't mean you are really an idiot, just that your purchases are unorthodox but maybe work out better than one would expect. Good luck in REA!!!

Leon will tell you all my purchases are paid for. So please do no doubt me. I pay...I had to use Echecks since I owed well over 20 000$ (My credit card does not allow such a high amount)...hence the longer wait to be paid...but they are all paid.

I had a few doubts about what card I would buy for my 1st ever 10 000$ + card so I made a change or two no big deal and no bad feelings since it was the same seller. If I had been offered a Babe Ruth rookie card I would have NOT changed my mind a single time and I do not mean the 1914 Baltimore news I can't afford such a card!!!

Only in 2014 I have to many obligations this year (I am putting a big chunk of money onto my mortgage so I will need to save up). Looks like a lot of fun I will for sure make it next year. I want to buy a Ruth rookie so next year would be best for me to save up and enjoy myself like a kid over there. I rather buy a Ruth rookie in person and fly it back down to Canada myself...I did the 52 Topps Mantle threw mail and it is to hard on the nerves!!!
