please, please help me anyone! I'll buy ya a star!

[elehhhhna]

If I don't zing a bid into Ebay at 12:30 central, my daughter will not get the batman figures she's trying to buy with a Christmas gift cert.

She & Hubs DEBATED whether to let Mommy do it because "she'll get all busy on DU & forget". THE NERVE!

Now I'm thinking they might have had a miniscule point.

I'll buy a star for the first person to send me a DU PM at 12:15 central.

Gratefully,
Elena

1. Won't DU be down then?

my time now is 10:42 a.m. - I am time zone challenged, so I get confused about the central time.

I think Elad will have the site down for server management about that time, I'm not sure though. :freak:

[elehhhhna]

2. dang it, memrh, you're right! We're in the same time zone, btw.

If DU's down no problem, then LOL!

How are you, anyway?

edit: I see you already have a star. Would you care to suggest for whom I should buy one in your honor?

10. Changed till tomorrow.

I'm usually pretty good at this kind of thing. I'll try to remember.

7. Bid now and bid the absolute maximum you are willing to pay

I mean so much that you begin to question the wisdom of the purchase, that is the way auctions work

[elehhhhna]

11. she's got 40 bucks. hubs says to wait and zing it in at the last minute

because otherwise the other bidders may jack it up.

He's the ebay king. I've seen him close 'hot' auctions with a stopwatch to make sure he's the final bidder.

8. Do you by any chance have an alarm on your watch/cellphone?

If so, can you just set that to 12:15?

[elehhhhna]

9. I should set the oven timer but I'm a lazyass, though I will do that right

now!
