Why Meeeeeee!!!

First I lose the auction in Ohio to some "late bidder"...Then, I win an auction for a great price, only to find out they cant be shipped....Then, just a hour ago, Im cruising ebay.co.uk, and find this...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-X5-NEW-STY...QQcmdZViewItem

My heart felt like it was in my shorts..I started hyperventilating when I noticed in the Q & A section, that the guy wants to let them go for £950. Brand New wheels and tyres, for less than 1600 bucks!! And I can pick them up tonight!! He left his number posted in the auction...I JUST now called him, and he said someone called and bought them 10 minutes ago...What the hell is going on!!!

Sorry, I just had to vent...Thanks for listening...One Day!! One Day!!

Hang in there man. YOUR wheels are somewhere out there, and you're going to get an even better deal.

Anytime you have a "man on a mission", you will succeed! Keep trying, bozo!

Sorry to hear that - it looks like he's still taking bids though! What's up with that?

I JUST ASKED MYSELF THAT!!! What the hell is up with that?!? AND, normally there will be a disclaimer that says something to the effect of "This item is listed elsewehere..blah blah blah"....That kind of pisses me off, because more people will be bidding no doubt...Man, I need to calm down...

Well, the auction is still going, and I will keep bidding. So what happens when it ends and he has to tell all the bidders the wheels were sold a week ago?!
