I LOVEEEE EBAY...do I?

Oh joy, the beginning of a new semester is approaching. Waitlisted classes...check. Tele-bears dying at impromptu moments...check. Ned's refusing to buy back my old textbooks...check. Buying new textbooks...AH! Why are they so expensive?!

So I go on the lovely ebay.com, and JOY OF JOYS!- I find my econ 100b textbook $80 cheaper! w00t w00t. I immediately bid- I'm first hah-hah-hahahha!

That was 4 days ago.

I come back today, 4 days later and I've been outbidded 10 times 0_0 -insert anime sweat drop-

Okay...no big deal, so I wait...for another 24 hours and finally there's about an hour left of the auction. I set my maximum bid, and I proudly say it's a nice, solid, hefty number and I KNOW no one's gonna be able to outbid me hah-hah-hahahaha.

Now there's 9 seconds left. I'm clicking the refresh button like a madwoman. 8...7...6...5... ("You're still the highest bidder!")...4...3....2...1...(Uh oh something's wrong...why is the ENTIRE PAGE REFRESHING!?)....0

Someone outbid you; sorry you didn't win this time.

WHAT?!

Cries.

I hate ebay.com

P.S Does anyone have a Macreconomics 6th edition textbook I could borrow? Help me Gracepoint.
