Honestly.....Talk about Feast or Famine
Wow I am in total disbelief. Yesterday I was thrilled to have won an auction for a certain Precious Moments figurine that I have wished for for years. I believe in yesterday's post I even mentioned that I had bid on another before this one but was outbid. Well guess what ? Seems that the person who outbid me,for some reason, decided to retract their bid. This put me as high bidder. I guess that an E mail was sent ( or at least it should have been) but It must have gotten stuck in my spam folder ( that I emptied without reading the many many spam mails)Anyway, I guess that I have won this auction too. Now I could contact the seller and ask him/ her to re list the item as ,under the circumstances, I shouldn't be obligated to buy this but I hate to do that when this piece is so rare and what if the first one gets lost (or smashed) in the mail . Perhaps I will go ahead and pay for this one too and I can always sell it if I decide not to keep both... right ? A few days ago... if someone told me that I would be the owner of two of them by Monday, I would have thought that someone was nuts but......It just goes to show that one never knows. Besides when it comes to feast or famine..... I'll always take the feast !
