You Win Some/You lose some

 Pictured above is the Nikon N60 auto focus 35mm camera I won on Ebay today.  The opening bid price was one dollar.  No one else bid so I got the camera for the opening bid price.  There is a $12 shipping fee, but who cares?  I got another good camera to add to my collection.  I already have a lens for it so the fact that it comes without a lens is a non issue.  This would make a good student camera, and is one of many deals waiting for anyone willing to open a free Ebay account and make a bid.  

This is the one that "got away".  I had placed a bid on it the night before the auction ended.  I knew I would be away from my computer at 11:00am when the auction ended so I bid what I hoped would be high enough to get it at a bargain price. When I went to bed I was the 3rd bidder and had the high bid at $5.50.  I checked the auction again before leaving for work, I was still the high bidder at $5.50 .  Some time between 7am and 11am the bids started coming in. I had bid a maximum of $20.  The number of bidders went from 3 to 22.  Someone else bid $1.00 more than my maximum, so they are now the proud owner of this lens.  You win some you lose some.  'til next time...happy shutter bugging.
