ebay and i have a love/hate relationship. there have been times when i have stayed up way past my bed time bidding on things!! urrrgghhh BUT im happy you got your veil!
i love sniping on ebay - i know there are programs that will do that for you but nothing beats doing it yourself :)
im soon to hit 600 ebay transactons - i didnt notice until i got an email from ebay telling me 4 more to go
Been there done that! Your normal lol
I also love the thrill of watching people bid war on something I'm selling :)
I am such an awful ebay-er .. I always do the "buy it now" option... no patience!!
I'm just like you. Total Sniper. I used a program a few times years ago, but it works best when you're doing it live. :)
I'm also a sniper. Typically, I usually get the first bid and then watch it like a hawk and in the last 30 seconds constantly reload and prepare to increase my bid.
I won a $300 flower girl dress for $40 a couple weeks ago and won a $179 David's pearl tiara yesterday for $30 (with shipping)!
It really is an illness. :-)
@yarizs: Oh! Right!
It's David's Bridal veil style 689:
This picture is not of me...I borrowed it from one of the reviews on the David's Bridal website, but it will go perfectly with the detail on my dress!
@Jeannine @ Small Chic: The thrill of the chase is what makes it so fun!
@CanadianMermaid: The only person offering that specific one for "Buy it Now" wanted $100, so that wasn't happening!
@Carnival_Bride: I got soooo pumped up. The veil retails for $189, and I got it for $46 after shipping :-)
nice shopping - some people dont do their homework on ebay and i sit at home thinking they could have paid full price at the store and spent less
Love the veil its gorgeous! I've never used EBAY before.
I completely ebayed for my wedding and currently am ebaying for our munchkin for when he comes home from the NICU unit from the hospital.
im an ebay addict! i purchased a full bare minerals light starter kit a $60.00 value for $1.75 never opened!!! a pair of never worn coach heels from the 2010 collection for $13.78!
you guys are funny! snipers! ooh but you totally gave me ideas!!!
@MsPanda: Good to know--I was just looking at those and thinking about making bids.
I'm on it constantly (even on the app on my phone)!! I'm bidding on items for my brooch bouquet that I am going to make. So far I won 54 =)
i LOVE eBay, but i get so caught up in the thrill of the auction that i end up paying more for my stuff. haha. but it evens out. i just sold some boots that i bought for $35, sold them for $42. :) all evens out
oh i looooove ebay.
got my hoop skirt and all my wedding jewelry on there. i keep looking for more deals too. i can't stop, it's such an addiction.
I LOVEEE EBAY! I ebay all day
Recently, I just won two pairs of Michael Kors sunglasses that retail for over $100 for $30 each, My Queen Bee purchase has been... the Manolo Blanhik Silver Sedaraby shoes ( The shoes that Carrie wears in SATC that get stolen at the shower) I have been looking on ebay for over a year for a pair for the right price of course and last month someone listed a pair one shoe a 39 and the other a 40, I told myself I will cut my toes off to make them fit! I am really more of a 39 1/2 in his shoes.. I wound up getting them for $100!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus $5 to get the smaller shoe stretched :)
LOVE EBAY - People dont realize how much stuff they sell, tons of Lia Sophia Jewelry, Pampered Chef stuff.. Come on paying full price is just crazy :)
Congrats on your veil!!!
Go Savvy Shoppers!
@fashionbug: Haha I also ebay ALL day!! So addicted, I'm constantly on it on my phone, always checking, searching, bidding, sniping lol. The thrill of finally winning something that you've been hunting down for ages at the right price!
I've just now bought a lace bolero, can't wait for that to come in, and bought my beautful ivory peeptoes last week. Currently stalking veils and glittery headpieces Ebay weddings all the way!!
Yay just bought a veil for less than £20, and a Mango leather jacket for less than £10!! Bargain high... :)
I Love it and i get excited about ebay ! i won my veil off ebay 2.76 so ebay is awesome and i get over board but when your getting something for cheaper then the orginal price its worth it

So, I just finished eBay bidding on the wedding veil I fell in love with this wekeend at David's Bridal, and I can't stop laughing at how ridiculous I got over the whole thing.
I had no intention of paying full price for the veil, so I decided to hit up eBay and found several auctions for the exact item, and I was determined to win one of them. I had an alarm set to remind me when there were five minutes left, I kept checking the item all day to watch the price, and when there were 30 seconds left, I decided to strike.
This is the way I used to feel before athletic events/competitions in high school, and it didn't hit me until after one of my eBay pep talks just how ridiculous I was being...especially over a piece of tulle with some beads on it.
Does anybody else get a little too excited when eBay-ing? Or am I the only one who is a little nutty?...
Alternately, what other great eBay wedding finds have people made?
:-)
