The joy of getting that outbid email

Late into the night at a friends wedding I was sneaking off to the loo to bid on the last card I needed for a backrun. It was in Fair condition and should have been a $500 card. Inebriated me ran it up to $3k and still was outbid.

Still glad to have lost that one.

Great story, Chris. Just goes to show that, with the advent of hand-held devices, open bars at weddings and online auctions don't mix well, unless you're the consigner.

I had to laugh at this one..."inebriated me" has bought a lot of cards. That last check on an auction before passing out in bed and then waking up to see what you won...or thankfully lost...haha...


EDIT - That post made me look like a drunk...haha...wow. Not a drunk, it just seems the once a month I do cut loose I'm late night bidding on somehting!
