Aug '01 Buggymom2

RE: Azmama: heard about this pp of a giraffe that sold on ebay for $98 but can't find it...anyone know anything about it and if I can still see it somewhere? I really want to see this one.

I found it by searching completed auctions. I hope I can attach the link here...

It doesn't appear "live". You'll need to cut and paste it.

Wow! Thanks for finding that. I tried but sense I don't do ebay I didn't really know what to do. I looked at the bid history and now my question is why did the one person keep outbiding herself? Maybe it was a ploy to drive up the price? Doesn't make sense otherwise. Of course, I have no idea, I don't know this person or the person who made it and I am in now way implying that is what happened. Please don't yell at me...I said before...I don't do ebay so I have no idea what goes on there. I just heard about this layout going for $96 and wanted to see what someone would pay $96 for that's all.
Oh, btw, the link worked...i don't think it shows active until you post it.

I don't get it, either. I asked my dh why the same person kept outbidding herself, and he said he probably had a set amount, and each time someone placed a bid, her proxy bidder outbid it. I can't imagine paying that much for a paper piecing, no matter how cute it is!

Well, there weren't any other bids though once she started bidding and she didn't even get it! Oh well, I'm sure it's one of those things you only understand if you actually do ebay. I wouldn't pay that much for it either.

I buy and sell on eBay all the time so this is my effort to explain the bidding history:
When you place a bid on an item, you put in the maximum amount that you're willing to bid for that item. If someone else puts in a bid that's lower than your maximum amount, eBay autimatically puts a bid in for you for 50cents or whatever higher than that person's bid - up to the amount that you put in as your maximum.
When that person was finally outbid, it just meant that someone finally put in a bid for higher than what her maximum was.
It sounds super confusing, but it's an easy concept. It's just hard to explain!

OOOHHHHH! That's how it works. Thanks JenKirk!
