You know when your bidding on a bag you REALLY want and it comes down to a bidding war at the end! :boxing: I get so anxious those last few minutes! Its hilarious! My heart rate speeds up & my palms are sweaty! :sweatdrop:
When its over I have a buzz like I just had 6 shots of espresso! :nuts:
I think this could mean its a problem, like an addiction or gambling! :s Yes I am addicted! :P

Am I alone here?

Anyway I mention this because I just won a chanel bag that I neeeeeeded! :yahoo: I won, I won! :woohoo:

Now lets just hope the rest of the transaction goes smoothly! Wish me luck! :girlsigh:

Me too merrydish! I wait until the last second, my heart is pounding, and just when I think I am about to explode, I learn if I have won or not. Lately, I have been losing to sniping software, but the adrenaline rush is great!

I am so glad to hear that its not just me. I don't use sniping software (I didn't even know it existed until TPF). If its something I really care about I time it to the last few seconds...and my heart is pounding!

I totally get that way!! It's such a rush and then you want to do it AGAIN! When I won my Chanel bag a few weeks back, I had the racing heart, shaking hands ... THAT was exciting! :smile:

I get that same rush even though mostly now I SELL on eBay and not so much buying. Watching my own auctions climb higher and higher and higher every time I hit "refresh" just brings a nice little smile to my face!!

Congrats on your Chanel bag! Me, me, me, I just won a Michael Kors Astor tote that I've been eyeing all week, during those last few seconds of the auction my heart was beating so fast (as always). I have never bought a bag in green, I'm more of a basic (black/brown) girl. I just fell in love with this bag though, isn't she beautiful?​
