how funny! sitting in Paris waiting for a ebay auction- that would make a awesome commercial for ebay! But I could totally see myself doing the same thing! Enjoy, and I hope you win the darn crockpot. Why are they not sold where you live?
Nearing the end of eBay auction: Do you sit and watch it?

If you download the ebay countdown thigy you don't need to refresh.
I hope you got your crockpot. I couldn't live without mine.

I used to do this, then I found a good sniper. HOWEVER--I placed a bid through the sniper I use, and IT DIDN'T EVEN BID AT ALL! I almost lost the Chanel deal of the century; however, I emailed the seller right away and it turns out the winning bidder was some shady unconfirmed international bidder, so I got my bag anyway!!!!
I don't bid until the last 20 seconds or so (unless I BIN) but I watch the auction for the last few minutes and constantly refresh until it ends.
But you're in Paris. Step away from the computer haha! Go enjoy Paris with your DH! Hope you're having a great trip!

dont worry I do the same thing Mel.. haha, if Im home of course.. if im not home, I just cross my fingers 
Back in 1998 when I was still new to ebay, I would also sit and refresh the auction page every few seconds. I even called work and said I would be a few minutes late getting there because I was so engrossed in this auction, which I lost anyway. How crazy is that? I was really addicted, in the beginning, because I could find just about anything I was looking for on there and at a great price. Now I just put a snipe on an auction if I want it that bad. Most people don't bid until the last few seconds anyway. I actually hate to wait for things, so I usually look for BIN.
I agree. I mean, for a crock pot?i dun know. id rather see the eiffel tower than sit and watch any auction. thats just me.
