I thought I'd try bidding on some single cigars.  10 singles for $2.25. The first bidder decides he wants all 10 of them. I decide I'll bid on 5 and split them with him.  Before I bid, another guy bids on 4 of them.  I still want 5, but since the original bidder had 6, I didn't want to leave him with only 1 cigar, so I bid on his 6 cigars.  I had to go and babysit, so I couldn't watch the end of the bidding.  Another guy decides he wants 5 cigars and I end being the odd guy out and only getting 1 cigar.  So my great deal for last week was 1 cigar for $8.25.  So my lesson learned is, "if your bidding on single cigars, ya have to watch it to the end so some jerk won't screw ya on one stinking cigar @#$%^&*(...!!!!!"
Also, do your bidding early in the week and if you win that (a larger item), you then have a week until deliver to hunt for singles.

...and keep adding items to spread out the shipping and SAVE MORE! lol.

I laugh, but I do it all to often. It sounds good when I rationalize it in my head anyway.
No pain until you get your CC Bill and say wtf was I thinking~

Sometimes you can forget entire orders.  ;)
Now that is more than just a sometimes for me.  Happened last week.
Just come home to a very pleasant surprise.

Yeah, too little too late for your grievance now. Enjoy your Tuesday... even if it's not your usual effort.

Time for me to go back and do some more yard work...!

"if there is grass, mow it."
The grass is sort of thin and bunt up from the heat, so it mows rather easy.. :)

Sorry to hear that. I had no idea that was you. jk  ;)

You can always get some more bidding in before your shipment day.
I'd tell you what I was bidding on, but I don't think I could take the harassment and grass cutting all in the same day.. :)

I see.  Buy more bargain items to make the bad buy average out to a better price.  Mmm, I'll have to think on that.

heading out. pray Murphy's Law doesn't hit.
Wishing you the Best but I think we will just wait to hear the next reported incident. ::)
Make sure to check in later Dean, we need status updates!
home safe and sound, trailer unloaded, bikerlady home. no problems. kind of dull and boring actually.

The story or the bikerlady? You could always spice it up a little... like we would know. haha

Good afternoon, Deano. Glad they didn't tear up your trailer anymore.
Howdy Dean.  I vote for a more spicy or adventurous story too.  Such as alligators ate your trailers tires, and you popped something else.. :)
