Bidding Skills

I was bidding for something on ebay recently and I have just learn that bidding actually takes a little bid of skills and the need for a good internet connection. Many times, I have been outbid at the very last minute, sometimes even seconds by just a fraction of the value.

I have also learned that hesitance will cost you when comes to bidding. If you are not sure about your maximum budget and had to rely on the auction as it goes, you will end up like me, taking a few seconds to ponder before confirming the bid. And these actions actually cost you to loose out on the bid especially if your broadband connection is slow.

I use a mobile broadband at home and I never had any complaint about the speed. But yesterday, while I was bidding on ebay, due to the "slow" loading time of the page (took about 5-8 seconds to load), yup... only merely 5 seconds and I actually got outbid :(

It was at times like this that seconds are considered preciously important. So here's something else I learn...

By the way... I have just won a bid on a Nikkor AF 50mm f1.8D without even thinking that I will win. So... I am happy... yeah :) haha...
