12 seconds early - sloppy bidding. Not me, but no sympathies from me either.
If the those who shoved up the price had kept quiet to the last second the winning bid would have been £50 cheaper (assuming no reserve).
If you play by Ebay's silly rules you end up paying more. Bidder 2 bid £200 and others shoved it from £150 to £200 well before the close. Someone else came in at last second & grabbed it well done. He didn't show his hand and got the deal.
Anyway with luck it'll be rusty & dented.

My latest fleabay purchase arrived today. 18V cordless drill. 2 speed, variable speed, 1/2" chuck, 2 batteries, 1 hour charger and carry case. £24.40 + £6.60 delivery. Only moan, the seller is just down the road from me & I could have collected, but he ignored my emails so I had to wait for Parcel Force.
Luckily I was in when they called.
The drill looks & sounds good. OK not a Dee-walt, but at 10% of their prices....
Well chuffed, me & perfect timing for the new shed delivery :-)
