Bad luck…
Hi all,
I really wanted to buy this website:
http://www.sitepoint.com/marketplace/auction/9970
I put a bid 2 hours before ending for $510 - according to Sitepoint rules if you put a bid less then 4 hours till the end, they extend the auction with another 4 hours. At the time I put the bid it was 17:00 local time. My bid triggered a mini war, with someone bid for $600 and I response with $620. Then someone bid for $640 and immediately I raised my bid to $650.
15 minutes later someone bid for $700. This was my limit, but I thought to give it one more chance. So I put a $720 bid. By the time I did so, it was already 21:00, so the auction new end date was 01:00 - because I was tired, and already reached my limit I’ve decided to go to sleep around 23:00 knowing that I am the higher bidder…
So first thing in the morning I’ve checked my emails to see that someone outbid me by $20 and got the website for $740… It is a shame after all the efforts I put… but it is a good website with some potential, so good luck to the buyer!
