Alas! I was outbid! Oh well. I'm simply not prepared to pay more than $50 for a pair of shoes I haven't tried on, no matter how gorgeous they are.
Humour me here, but I think Ebay is a lot like life (see, I have moved on from when ebay was life...)
There's a lot of stuff out there - have fun looking at it!
Decide what you REALLY want.
Have a plan (you knew I'd say that).
Decide how exactly much you are prepared to give for this particular thing.
Give it everything you've got - draw the line when you reach the point where it is costing you too much.
If it doesn't work out the way you planned, there was nothing more you were prepared to do, so no reason to be unhappy. You did your best. You were true to your principles.
There will always be other red shoes.
That countdown timer is giving me the pip; it's actually 4 more sleeps until the surgeon. NOT that I am sweating on it AT ALL, nooooooooooo not me....
More anon, philosophers!

It was probably Karma :-)
Outbid! G'ah! But at least you drew your line. Good analogies to life...
Hmm, now that I look at those shoes again, they have definitely lost some of their appeal!
I'm with Lisa - love the analogies. Looking forward to seeing your next possible ebay purchase.
I just read some posts I've missed. Sorry to hear about the ankle thingy, sure they'll sort it out soon. Think positive now. I know the feeling, I get it often.
They were cute - but you'll find better! Thanks for your encouragement on my great adeventure!
so right! but life isn't nearly as addictive!
yeesh, i take a break to finish the semester and you're back on eBay. you're hopeless!
...I LOVE ONLINE BIDDING! can't i get paid to do it. hm. me thinks i needs stuff.
I would fall over in the heels that high, probably twisting an ankle and ending all athletic aspirations for a while. So even though they are tres cute, perhaps it is for the best :-)
