Hello all,
Sorry but I have to vent some steam here, as fellow fans of Snatcher you will probably understand.
Here I was following a very good condition Snatcher Mega CD on Ebay, waiting for the last minute to do a bid as I did not want to be outbid on the last seconds by someone else.
In the last minute the pricing race really ensued as everyone wanted it but I decided to play it smart, buying my time.
So in the last forty seconds I try to make my bid, but someone else had been after me so I had to make another one quickly, suddenly I get the message I hadn't filled the open box properly or something like that.
WHAT THE HELL!
This isn't exactly rocket science, you fill in the amount of money you want to bid and press 'confirm', but this didn't happen to me one time but three times in a row.
Finally I bid a higher amount but by then the game had been sold.
You [censored] [censored], I wanted that damn game and I was conned out of it by Ebay.
What the hell?! Damn you Ebay!

I hope you can find another one in good price soon.
I don't know what the problem with eBay was in your case, but that really is fucked up.

Oh it was indeed.
The stupid thing was, a couple of days before someone offered the game in good condition and 'direct buy' but I wasn't sure if I could spend that much money so I wanted to think about it.
That cost me that opportunity, this was the second one
