St. Jude sniping

[snakebit40]

I checked an item an hour to late too. Oh well, I'm sited in now.

I've been on the road for the 1st 2 closings and will likely miss tonight as well.  But I'll sure try hard the last two nights!

I generally will run items up as far as I am comfortable early in the bidding.  But I sometimes will save a shot for a final salvo in case someone else jumps in at the end.   And I've also been known to bump my own bid in the final minutes to try to keep the snipers on their toes.  

It's all in good fun with the ultimate goal being to help the kids.  If I end up with a cool item on some, that is just a bonus.  Bid early, bid high, and fire a final shot aggression the end!

I learned along time ago.....there are no friends in an auction......     Bid high....bid often!

I got by the snipers and got some more strings from Oliverstacey    

BTW...I don't remember the TGr that suggested rounding up...but I added $10 mor dollars due to that suggestion...more than covering PP fees for St. Jude...GREAT idea for dumbing down the math and helping the kids!!!!  Whooo Hooooo this feels good!!!!     Keep it up folks!!!!

It's the $1 snipe that I think causes the frustration.

So, if a person snipes, well, snipe with class and bid at least $5 more.

Bid for the kids.

I guess that was what got me.  But I'm over it now, different strokes for different folks.  That's what makes it fun for them I guess, and I'm glad they're contributing.  I just gave my money instead.

I got outbid several times tonight in the last few minutes by some extremely generous individuals. Thank God for those wonderful guys who made very sizable increases every time they bid. It makes me feel good to see that spirit of giving for such a worthy cause.

I was one of the snipers Allan, sure hope you're not PO'd.  The way we went at it meant the kids were the true winners.

I was in a business meeting last Thursday and it was noticed that I kept checking my BB.  Let's just say that those present got a quick lesson about Tradgang and this great cause.  It makes very proud to be a part of this community and everything you all do.
