I used a sniping site only once, a couple of years ago when I was away at the critical time. I didn't win the auction, simply because I was outbid. A quick Google search 'eBay sniping tool' produced several links to (free) help, so apparently the facility still exists.

Historically, I have never enjoyed particularly good terms with any parents of girlfriends. At one time I even decided 'acceptance' would be a bad omen... I was never seen as anything close to a "good catch", so I can understand why I seldom felt welcome. The single exception was my "walking friends" father, who was a pleasure to be around. Lovely man who wasn't dealt a particularly good deck with his wife (walking friends mother) getting dementia a bit early in life. I enjoyed many Sunday roasts as their guest, and he never got a handle on me not eating dead mammal with it. A story for another day. Thank you for your good wishes, but sadly, we've had about the worst news we could get. A second CT scan tomorrow will reveal just how bad things are. My condolences to you both for your loss. Good friends are hard to come by, so I've no doubt the truth in your words. i had, but thought they were a thing of the past? Maybe not? Since I had not seen any reference to them for some time, I had -perhaps wrongly- thought auction sites had found a way to make them redundant or unusable. I will look again. Having had some contact with them already, I may contact them again to see if they want to sell a pair of shoes at a price that matches an auction price on a particular style. I will not offer the cheapest price I have seen, maybe the highest. I am wondering if these discounted bargains are offered to keep a workforce employed during a slow part of the year? Better to make no profit, or even lose a little, to keep employees on the payroll in slow times as long as it doesn't bankrupt the company.
