So I posted either here or Facebook or maybe both that I had found a bra that I really like, but that they had discontinued it in every color except for black, tan and white. I was bummed. But that's why I love the internet, including e-bay. I found it the other day in red. Hooray. So I put in a bid, and it's coming up in less than half an hour and I'm watching watching watching. I used to get on e-bay a lot, and I haven't so much any more, but once in a while I go looking there for things I usually can't find. Watching watching watching... I'd give you the link, but I don't want any smart alecks putting a bid in on MY BRA. lol Do you guys watch your stuff like a hawk on e-bay when the auction is almost up?

I bought online my swimming suit. It has been the first piece of clothing bought by me online but I liked the idea and learnt a lot by doing that. I learnt that in Canada there´s a place where they make swimmining suits online with your measures, the colour you choose (there are thousand awesome prints)so I guess that will be my next swimming suit if there is another one. I pretend this to last me a long while. I haven´t yet started with the ebay thingy, but my grandchildren usually buy electronic stuff that way. I don´t know how they do it, though. I´m in first grade as computer stuff goes.

http://zenaswimwear.com http://zenaswimwear.com/ONEPIECEBRAmaximus.htm Check both. I told you I was a mess in computing. But I finally got my swimming suit anyway. I wanted a nice, good looking swimming suit that did not put 10 years more on my shoulders. I have enough with my age.

Typically yes, especially if it's something I really want. I also try not to put in a bid until the last minute, because I know a lot of people will do that so it just raises the price.

OK but you can put your top amount on e-bay, so why use bidnapper?

It is a site. Called bidnapper. You give them your ebay account and password. (I´ve been using the site for almost three years without scams) You settle wich article to watch. You settle your top Bid amount. And you just let bidnapper do everything for you. Bidnapper is the automated hawk hehe. Bidnapper can be bidding even when you are sleeping! They have some quotes... there are small fees for their service. You can pay them with paypal... I found it very very useful, specially with three children running around me and around the house... =) Kind Blessings!... Dainy

Ooh, la, la in hot red... I am usually a seller more so then a buyer and when my items are in the last hours I do watch it like a hawk as the excitement gives me thrill to see the the bids go up and up. But if I was a bidder, yup I would be like finger on the increase bid button as there is a reason I want that item. lol Hopefully by now you have won your hot bra.

As long as you already have one, I guess you can be fairly sure it'll fit properly. I always have a hard time buying bras.

Well in this case it's new with tags on, and I already have one that's the same make and size, plus it's discontinued in this color, and it's like 50% off, so it was worth taking a chance to me.

It has actually been a long time since I've made a bid on ebay. However, when I was using ebay on a regular basis, my favorite thing to do was to not make a bid on the item until the last couple minutes of the auction. This way, I would end up with something if I was meant to have it and if my bid wasn't enough then I would know that I just was not meant to have the item that I had been bidding on. It was a lot of fun, but we just don't have the money to do that anymore.

I have never done an auction on e-bay, so I would have to say that the answer to that question is "no". I used to play on a free game site where you earned points and could use them to "buy" stuff on that site, though. Other people would auction off stuff they had gotten or trade items, etc., and then I would keep a close watch on the bidding, especially if it was something that I really wanted and the bid was getting ready to close.

Oh no! I'm not an e-bay person. I tried it once and got all confused and left it at that. I've never gone there again even when they started ebay india. I don't think I will be able to watch anything like a hawk. Hope you get your bra! I remember you posting about it here....but don't remember seeing the one where you didn't get the colour you wanted.

It's been a really long time since I bid on anything... But I seriously doubt I stayed around and watched. I remember a couple of times I forgot I even bid and so when I saw the e-mails that said I'd won, I had to go check to see what it was I won. I guess if I really really wanted something, I might pay closer attention. But most of what I've bought, I could live without it or bid on another item just like it. Hope you got your bra...

I have never bought any stuff from ebay. The bra etc my wife buys from local market only, she has of several colors, matching her blouse, saree and saya colors, i just can't digest some one wearing a red bra under a white blouse, it makes more revealing.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

I wouldn't wear a red one (or black or any dark color) under a white blouse either. Looks tacky...
