With auction sniper you don't have to worry about setting the timer, wondering if your server will put it in on time, or even being outbid in the last 30 sec. (which I have had happen!)

Thanks again everyone! Now that I have all those new blades, I'll switch back to using the 45mm from the 60mm. I think I only have less than 10 blades for the 60.

I agree about Auctin Sniper...I use if for the things I really want. I've only been outbid a couple of times...thats because I really wanted it, but not THAT bad.. :roll:

OMG :!: :!: :!: what a steal :!: I'm glad you got such a buy. I hate to think what all of that would have cost at my lqs. The sewing Angels were really watching over you :D :D

Fabulous deal girl!!!! I use to be an eBay junkie, but now that I am a first time homeowner, the bank owns most of my money!!! LOL ahh but someday I'll get back to playing on eBay again!! I love that place!!

I love my chenille cutters. In fact I am using them on a project or two right now!

Wouldn't ya' know the first listing was for items up for bid that expired in 7 minutes and no bids. I dutifully keep a vigil, updating every 30 seconds, waiting.....waiting.....no bids.....it's getting closer........down to two minutes.....I made my move at less than a minute and a half and bid the starting price. I couldn't believe it! NO OTHER BIDS----I WON!!!!!!!!

I just got the package today. :mrgreen:

Oh, what was that? What did I get? That would be so cruel if I didn't tell you, huh??

I got 2 five blade packs of 45mm , 5 single 45mm blades, 2 28mm blades, AND a new, long lasting 60mm chenille blade. All Olfa products, brand new in original packaging.

For how much??? Ready for this----$15.00! BAM!!!!!! AND-----FREE SHIPPING!!!!

Oh, my! I've just got to sit and catch my breath for goodness sakes!


Only here can I carry on like this and someone NOT think I'm totally crazy! But for those that do, watch it! I KNOW how to find you!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

WTG Girl! What a great buy! Now you can do the dance. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-dance008.gif
