i use them to place my bid early on an auction and then i don't follow the auction at all. sometimes i win. most times i lose, but what i don't do is get caught up in the excitement/emotion of trying to win and paying too much. i found a practical use for it for myself.

what really bothers me is when someone sells fake heuer tshirts and hats and says they are authentic and came from an old retired watchmakers stash. when in fact they are brand new fakes and were made in china. that really irritates me. those kinds of real cheaters and crooks, but to each their own on what they find wrong in the world of ebay.
