I spited someone on ebay
Two days ago I saw some vintage crayons that I wanted on ebay. There was 1 bid which was the starting bid at $20. I bid $30 and it said I was automatically outbid. I bid up to $50 and then stopped, because i didn't want to pay more than that. I really thought I would get ahead there, but their threshold was much higher. I thought, since I couldn't get the crayons because of this idiot, that I should needlessly raise the price for them by continuing to bid until their threshold. I bid up to $105, and then stopped so I would not have to pay all that money. I wish I knew the threshold so i could have made them pay more. I don't know if they were really willing to pay that or if they set up a high threshold just in case, expecting to only counter small bids. The item ended a few hours later, and now they are stuck with it. I wouldn't be surprised if somehow they get out of it and the item is relisted. I really hope I screwed them over. Have you ever done this?
