| | | A drawback about Sniping chiptalk members only Jamby Won
The one drawback I have had from sniping is that if someone you know is sniping the same item you won't find out until the end and the two of you just shot the price way up.
The item in question was 24 Paulson Winners Club chips. All the bidders on this item were chiptalk members. If I or Jamby would have not bid the item would have gone for $22, but instead it went for $50.50! 
Here's the bid list: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=250011579163
We are bidding against each other! |

Although I don't know which would be worse... |

Really, Roland?
I gotta imagine you are near my age. That means you woulda been a Bucs fan in the late 70's/early 80's... They were the worst team in the league in the early to mid 80's... They were 2-14 in what, '83? And I know they set a record for 12-straight seasons of losing more than 10 games...
You were one dedicated kid.

For those of you who are not familiar with the area, it is about a 5 mile drive, but they had airborne coverage of every mile!
For the niner's fan...I can't feel too sorry for you. At least you had your time of dominance. I am still waiting......  |

Not because of any onfield performance issues. |

I'm with you Roland. I've been a bucs fan as long as I can remember. That nasty pirate with the yellow stripes! That was a true test of fanhood. That and the 0-26 start.
