Oh the Pain fo a Failed Snipe...
I was trying to slip in a last minute bid on a chip I have been waiting for forever - well at least a couple of years - and I got zapped by eBay. I had entered the bid and clicked on the the "confirm bid" screen and waited until there was 5 seconds to go and clicked confirm - stupid eBay decided it was time for me to reconfirm my logon - by the time I did so the auction was over. At least some new guy got a great bargain. Boy I hate eBay at times....
