Last Saturday, I bid on a CT4540 - which I preferred above the others on ebay, because it was black and also... higher model number ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I thought I gave it a valiant effort, put something like 93 and it sold for 95 (accepting that the highest bidder might have put even more as a max).
Then, we went for a walk with the partner and our dog. I did mention we better get back home withing 70 minutes, as there's something I want to bid on - a clean looking 4390...
We were still on a walk when the time came - but I have my phone... I was going to go up to 100, in light of this being the last affordable AWE 64 Gold in sight...
I tend to "snipe" on ebay. Learned it back in 2001, felt pretty confident... I guess because I was on rural mobile internet, my timing wasn't quite right and I missed it for £85 - felt like I could have got it for 100!
Now, they are like $300 from the US... That's pretty much where I have to utter my safe work... 300 bucks for an old card... I get it, nostalgia, but damn!
Anyone knows how to shop in yahoo auctions Japan? 😉
