Very Upset With Myself

[JohnP0621]

I was also thinking about bidding on this item but it was past my max bid when I was ready to bid. Was the color faded . If not why did it only get a 2?

Also What is a snipe bid?

A Snipe bid is the use of a service, such as Gavel snipe, where you can put in a bid on there, and the service bids for you w/in the closing seconds of the auction. It will only bid what is needed at the time of the snipe, up to your "snipe amount"

I used Gavel snipe for my occassional bidding on the bay, and it mostly works very well.

You just have to remember to reset your gavelsnipe passwords if you change your ebay password. Made that mistake on an item I wanted very badly.

I learned the lesson the hard way too, : If I'm sitting at my keyboard with 30 seconds to go, I wait another 25 seconds and put in my max bid with 5 seconds to go. Just like a snipe service, but I don't use those for some reason. Probably a combination of too lazy, too cheap, and something about it just doesn't seem sporting to me!

I use Gavelsnipe; it is a free sniping service.

Personally, i thought the card brought a ton of money.... I would not beat yourself up too much

It was a great looking card, and the coloring on it was perfect. Much better than the way it was supposed to look. All of Hughie's portraits make him look like a clown.

I thinks it brought a "ton" of money due to the background color. The eye appeal is a plus ,but the unique colors brought out the best in the bidders.

Not only is the Jennings missing yellow but it's also missing red (should be on his lips and cheeks) and appears to also be missing the color blue (should be on his eyes). The colors on the card are certainly unique. It would surprise me if the card actually came out of the factory this way, (without being scrap), but my guess is as good as yours.

Lovely Day...
