The relief of being outbid on eBay
Ever bid on a watch you didn't really want, instantly regretted, and then hoped someone else would outbid you on so you didn't have to do a bid retraction and look bad?
It happened to me earlier today, and I am overjoyed! 😀

I'm pretty much done with collecting now, but I've certainly got a good variety of affordable watches. As an occasional YouTuber, I'm a comedian not an influencer. Skmei is the new Casio!

Phew it happened to me as well, I think it’s an eBay rights of passage type thingy
That makes you and me both. 😬
A couple of times for me. I had to retract once and felt terrible for messing about the seller.
But how dare they outbid you tho? You better bid again to restore your honor..
Just won an ancient Omega for way more than I should have paid...🤣

Have you not also been messed around by sellers though? I had one make an offer, and whilst I was considering it he retracted the offer because he’d seen that 2 more people had started watching the item.
Needless to say, EBay did nothing about it.
The relief…….initially there was usually alcohol involved 🥃🥃🥃🤦♂️
Yes, and more than once.... 😭🤣

Only once when selling an Omega 200 pre bond.
Tracking showed it delivered and he said it hadn't been. He lied.
I only wish I'd been outbid after I've won. 😕
