I hope you learned your lesson. Never share an ebay link that you intend to win...
Now catch my bike next week in the picture megathread to see it's new cranks and completed philsexyness.

I once had a wheelset jump from $400 - $800+ in a matter of seconds toward the end.

Yeah, I think everyone uses these...it's so hard to bid on things the old fashioned way. You basically have to ask yourself how much would you pay for this and hope someone doesn't want to pay more than you do. Then in the last minute the bidding skyrockets. I lost so many damn wheelsets that way. Rapha stuff is also ridiculous..."oh, this jacket is a 1/4 of the price of what it is new and there's only 30 minutes left, I'll bid on this!" then in the last 30 seconds the thing sells for more than retail.

Kit doesn't match
Yes, in reality eBay auctions are a week's worth of advertising with 30 seconds of mad bidding. It all makes sense, but I hate it, so I almost never bother.

on Gixen. Use a sniping service is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more rational than getting into a silly bidding war. If you want something, just "set it and forget it". If you want it badly, just put in a higher bid.

I know this is the complete opposite of what the seller wants, but I'm in this for myself!
