How I accidentally won on eBay
On Friday, I was just searching for random things on eBay. I was looking through baseball jerseys and I came across this listing.

An authentic Joe Mauer jersey. Usually these things go from $150 to $250, depending on where you get it from.
At that time, it was only at $27 and I thought to myself that if retail value is so high, there's no harm in me putting a $33 bid on this bad boy. There would be NO chance I would win it. I would just force someone to pay more.
I come back to check a day later to find out that I had WON the auction! With shipping, I only paid $41 for something that probably cost nearly four times more!
I think that the fact that it was a one-day auction during the weekend might have made it easier for me to win the jersey. But anyway, this is how I accidentally won a Joe Mauer jersey on eBay.
