Had to get this of my chest,it just hurts even more thinking about it,so much in fact that I had to try to comfort myself by looking if this sort of thing has happened to others this bad on the web.
In over 10 years of being just a buyer/collector of rare pre-cert videos on Ebay,yesterday hurt me the most,infact it hurts just as bad now,still feel quite sick inside and don't even feel like eating,just smoking.
For over the last 10 years I always look through the deleted and horror video categories daily (morning,evening,and night).Yesterday morning at around 8.50AM to my amazement and excitement I spotted a mega rare video listed in the 'no specific' category (just VHS videos-the page that comes up 1st before you select your specific categories).It's impossible to look through all these pages,because there's thousands of all sorts off videos listed daily as it includes all videos listed in all the different categories.
This one just had the film title in it's description with no mention of pre-cert,old,rare,the ultra rare label it was on etc.I've won others on the same ultra rare label and they've always ended up costing me around £175-£201.Anyway,the video ended at 12 noon,so I thought I'd place my bid of £201.99p in the last few seconds.At 10.23 AM it was at the amazingly low price of just over £2 (no doubt because all the collectors didn't spot it,just the same as me up until a few hours ago that is).
The next thing I knew I woke up in my chair,looked at the watch and it was 12.05 PM.I had missed it by 5 minutes,but worst of all the end price was only £13.50p,yet I would of paid £200 just like I've done/won with the other titles on this mega rare video label that are in my collection.Nobody was in to call me either.I kicked the door,felt like punching the wall,and sadly I still do.
