Online Shopping Bargain

Can a person mention bidding on auctions as a hobby?

Well, a day without checking out the latest bargains on Bidorbuy is a rare one.

I’m always on the look out for that one auction where you get a good price for a quality product that you really want.

Most times I eventually get outbid. For instance, last week I had a R50 bid on 10 drilled sapphires in different colours.

I so wanted it, but was not going to bid any more than I already had. The item sold for R60…so disappointing!

Wednesday my luck turned when I bid on a sterling silver ring with an opal stone. My bid was for R51.00. I was happy to pay that plus postage of R30, because the ring is pretty much my style.

I felt bad for the seller because I’m sure she’s losing out on her profit margins, but as a past seller, I know that’s how the auction world works.

Here is my ring….
