the one that got away - how do you handle grief?


I just lost a bid for my dream speakers that I had been chasing for a decade. It was pretty stupid because I missed the last hour and maybe I would have won it with another $100. But maybe it's a sign, it's just a piece of hardware, that I should not be obsessed with. - "you can't always get what you want"

Did you always get the gear you thought would make you whole?

sounds like you did well for yourself @buellrider97 

I was raised with one advice from my grandparents: "you are rich if you can buy more food than you need". So I am pretty content with what I have and I don't feel that I deserve it.

You can gauge a person’s wealth by the quality of his friends. I consider myself a wealthy man. It’s all about the Love my friend. 

by the friendship gauge, I am not well off, with my low tolerance, high expectations, I am good at losing friends more so than making new ones

How do you bid in the final minutes?  Look at Gixen it’s a sniper. It doesn’t always work, but it has dramatically increased my success without having to go to nuclear war in one bid and over paying. 

I have used esnipe.com for many years and it bids for you in the last seconds that ensures you get the last bid, win or lose. Oldest snipe tool and the best by far. Only for eBay; not affiliated with eBay.
