Just thought I'd share this one. It was about time something went my way.
I'm going to South Korea in less than a month, and I am dreading the 14 hour flight from DC to Seoul (at least it is nonstop). So, I decided to buy a PSP, some games, and a battery charger so that I don't go insane on the plane. I bought the PSP from Amazon (hooray for no shipping/tax charges and recent price drop) but I figure, why pay full price for some games I probably will only play a few times, so I head over to Ebay.
First on my list is Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. Supposedly it is one of the best RPGs for the PSP, so I find an auction and bid. Well...surprise surprise it gets outbid by a sniper in the last twenty seconds or so for $26. So I go after another one...this time I figure I have it...but another fucking sniper gets it with 30 seconds to go...but I have a chance to outbid the sniper because I was watching...doh! I bid 27.01 and his snipe bid was 27.02. Son of a bitch!
So I'd pretty much given up, but I'd figure I'd check one last time today and see if there were any ending soon...and what do I find? One with 19.99 buy it now and $5 shipping. Hahahahahahahha! So I save $10 and made all those snipers pay extra for the previous auctions!
