Similar thing happened to me recently, lost out by £2 . I console myself by thinking that, if I had bid, then I might have got into a bidding war and still lost

That's why I never leave a large automatic bid, as some idiot will always outbid you at the last minutes.
Unfortunately what Loco says is right - the days of e bay being a cheap place to shop is long gone, in fact I have been keeping an eye on controllers and some of the buy it now prices are outrageous!

Controllers have been commanding high prices for a long time on eBay now.  I was lucky enough to win a Kato controller for £23 last year but they normally go for nearly new prices.

cheers John.

That is so true John,

I think it is time to start looking elsewhere and buy new from a proper model shop.

A dodgy looking Vortrack controller failed to sell on Ebay the other day, no bids,
suggested opening bid + post was about 75% of a brand new one from  the makers.

I know how that feels buddy.  Hope you manage to get rid of it soon, or can at least relax at home later.

[Skyline2uk]

Thanks muchly Tank,

Thankfully the strongest over the counters I could get and a good nights sleep seems to have sorted it. Not had one for a long time, don't miss em!

I'm on the old pain killers at moment too..... had a toothache for months, had $1000 worth of dental treatment which did nothing, so ended up having it taken out last monday - and it still hurts.

Actually I can't work out what hurts the most... me tooth or me wallet. 

[loco4401]

I think the wallet would be hurting

[Bealman]

Yeah.... with a trip to the UK and Europe coming up two weeks today, that's $1000 I could have done without parting with, even if it had done the job on the tooth! As it is, I'm just hoping I don't need more treatment between then and now.... but seeing as I am in pain as I'm sitting here typing this, I'm not hopeful. I certainly don't want to drag the hurt on the trip with me. 

[daveg]

Hope the pain goes away B'man, so you can enjoy your trip.

Gak ... boiling hot night and then came downstairs at 5am to get a cold drink and stepped on a slug in my bare feet in the kitchen.

Sorry Alan but find it so funny.
