Tayari's Blog: Tonight's The Night!

The auction wraps up today, for the most part. There are a couple groovy items which close a little later because either they were added late, or I got confused with the software... but the bulk of the items close tonight, 9pm, EST. I noticed that many of the bidders were first time ebayers, so I thought I would offer this tip:

The bidding can get heated in the last minute or so of the auction. Really crafty people law low, watching the item. And in the very last seconds, they put in a bid, hoping the auction will close before anyone else has a chance to put it a higher offer. (Very sneaky.) This is what Weird Al was talking about when he sang

I am the type who
is liable to snipe you
with two seconds left to goooooo!

So, if there is something that you want, don't bid and then walk away. Keep hitting refresh on your browser to make sure you are still in the lead.

And speaking of that Weird Al song. There were a good dozen versions of the video on ebay. Who knew there was this Weird Al Tribute videography community? I must confess. The Ebay Song is growing on me and my be my new favorite YouTube chuckle. I think it is even funnier that the disagreeing Filet o Fishes.

(No smirking, Ladylee.)
