[QUOTE="H8_modern, post: 3118156, member: 28531"]This morning CNG was ending and I had a couple things I was interested in. Well, I won an early one so I moved on to secondary targets and wanted at least one to spread out the shipping costs. I set alarms on my phone so I could put in last second bids. Unfortunately, my next target came up while I was driving. I know it’s been said many times before, probably goes back decades, : Don’t bid and drive! It’s dangerous, it’s dumb, it’s probably illegal and worst of all you’ll probably mess it up. My handle and password auto fill so all I needed was the dollar amount. 20 seconds left and I hit bid. “Non-numeric characters are not allowed” What? Erase, bid, enter. “Non-numeric characters are not allowed” Bidding closed. Dammit, I really liked the portrait on that one. Still want to win a second coin so I move on to target 3 which I won without any problems. Got the email invoice tonight and it turns out I won all 3. This is the second time I’ve won something when I thought I lost and then made a rebound purchase that I might not have otherwise made. Given the recent superstition thread, I’ll wait until I have the coins in hand to post pics but please share auction drama of your own. Jim[/QUOTE]
