when ebay goes down have you ever noticed that you have no bids out on auctions that end during a crash. its always the stuff you have up that gets creamed. and the ironic thing is the few times i have snuck into ebay during an outage the only type of items ending that i could bid on are things like "alice cooper photograph with food stain"..... ya gotta laugh

So, I am not the only one who tries to sneak in during an outage to see what I can find.

I go to eBay during the slow times / down times looking to scarf up on bargains like we hear about on AuctionWatch. But all I ever see going cheap is a lot of junk.

breinhold: This is the penalty for having good taste.

SHHHH!

If ebay hears you got in during a "crash" they will say it was not a hard outage...afterall, someone was able to get in and bid on that "alice cooper photograph with food stain"!

So..HUSH!
