Damn eBay :-(

I'm a moron. I bid up to $33 for a drukqs promo poster
when i could have gotten the same one for $7. Now i'm gonna
end up paying for both.

I don't suppose there's any way to retract a bid...

I hate being broke. I won't get paid for 2 weeks either.
:-(

i could put in a false bid above yours, if it would help
while they're busy tracking me down, you could leave the
country

sound good?

yeah that may end up costing a little over 33 bucks, but it
would be way more fun

when you buy from ebay you are technically entering a legal
contract.....so that means you can't return it, only sell it
again.......sorry xlr

obligations of dealing on their site.....aka they're

Heh, what's really fun to do is auction things you don't
actually own. hahahahah There's a segment dedicated to what
they do to you if that happens--pretty damn funny.

just don't pay for the damn thing... they wont's ship it,
and if the seller is a BIG DICKHEAD, they'll get all pissed
and tell on you...all e-bay will do is give you a 1 out of
three possible warnings, and you might get a negative
feedback...

i've done this exact thing with nin posters...

You could always try to email the seller with your best sob
story. An Ebay bid is a legal contract, unless you mistype
your bid or something.

GIVE UP EBAY...seems simplest...

or give yourself a limit and don't got over it...

As someone says, You can probably not bother paying for the
first poster and won't get that much hassle for
it...possibly a neg feedback but you could always create
another ebay account with a different email addy...

yeah...maybe i'll do that.
