Saddlebag top rails on e-bay

[jamiep24]

I had either an adrenaline rush or a near heart attack tonight. I have bought several things over the years on e-bay, but have never bidded on anything. For the last 2 days I have been in a bidding war for some top rails for my Nomad. Now the rails range in price from $175 to $265 on e-bay, if someone wanted to buy them outright (that was 4 different companies). I started it yesterday as a game, I bid $12.50 and the war started. We went back and forth and tonight the others had gotten up to $105 with a couple hours to go, so I figured I'd wait til the last second to try to squeeze the winning bid in. So with 45 seconds left the bid was still $105 and I put my max bid at $120 and when I clicked on the confirm bid button, it asked me for my e-bay username and password. I had done so much playing around I guess my time had expired. So I shuffled around and found my name and password, inventing some new profanity along the way, and entered it in and with 2 seconds left, I won the bidding war. I couldn't believe it. They are brand new rails, too. I think my heart rate tripled during those last 45 seconds. My winning bid was $107.50 (plus $20 shipping, of course). If anyone has bought some of these, how good did I do? Thanks Jamie..............................Next: Some Kury Iso Grips?
