I made all the mistakes a newbie does on Ebay. I'd see a great necklace or bracelet I wanted and I'd starting watching the bidding intently. As soon as I was outbid, I'd jump back in and place a higher bid. Seller's love newbies. They can artificially drive the prices up. All I knew at the time, was that I wanted it and I was bound and determined that I'd win it. Maybe it's my personality type...I just hate to fail or lose at anything.
To make matters worse, I'm small boned and have a very small 6" wrist size. The average wrist size is probably 7.25" to 7.50", so finding small sized vintage bracelets was very difficult. It's all about quantity and demand so when I saw my size, I was even more determined to win it. I would see the glitter and think of how cool it was and just start bidding away. I may have overpaid for it but I had won it!!! First rule, only bid on what you really like and honestly do know your budget and your financial limits. That's just good business.
