[Amps] Sales and greed

[Will Matney]

This don't have to do with amps but is a very good lesson. I was looking 
at a hipot over on eBay and thinking about bidding on it. I have one 
just like it and wanted a second. The only bid so far was a whole 
whopping $1.00. Well, I was prepared to bid as high as $45.00 for it in 
the end. I really didn't have the cash handy so I e-mailed the seller 
and asked if payment on December 4th was okay. I have done this several 
times, and never have a problem. Anyhow, I get an e-mail back saying, 
"No, that's too long!" , note the exclamation point. Well of course I 
didn't bid but still watched the item as it had about 4 hours to go. 
Finally time rolled by and it was over. I went to take a look to see 
what it went for. It went for a whopping total of $1.25 and I about fell 
over laughing! I think there's a moral to a story here somewhere. I 
guess he just couldn't wait 18 days for his/her $1.25 which I doubt will 
cover the listing cost =) Makes you think that there may just be that 
higher person watching over you and dealing out lessons! I never did 
doubt we didn't.
