I'm just watching what everyone else is watching.

I can't help but wonder how many people are watching his auctions now.

I sent him an e-mail asking if it was OK if I watched his auctions (after I had already added them all). Response:

Go for your life. If you're keeping tabs on it as you intend to buy it if there are no bids towards the end, great.
If you're just doing it as it gets you off on your watching fixation, thats not so good. I'd seek help.

Uhhh, no, Chumley. Irritating hammerheads like you gets me off.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

Hillarious...because the first thing I did when I read his comments about watchers was to click on "watch." THEN I went to the next page in this strand and found out everyone else did the same.

:lol:

OK>>>I just went back and set up to watch all his auctions.

I'm trying to think up a clever "watching" question to ask him. :twisted:

Which goes to show that a well-written auction description can be money in the bank...as opposed to a whiney tirade about people watching your auctions, complete with an insulting word.

(Although...I'm not sure being called a Muppet is necessarily bad....?) :scratch:

What a great listing! The counter shows more visits to her auction than I ever recall seeing before (179257)!
