Wow, nice selection of L&H films, but look what the seller says:

BID NOW! YOU CAN LOSE!

L&H on eBay

Funny! It's probably just a typo. I'm sure he meant "can't". Although, you CAN lose money by bidding I guess! [Smile]

Hi both and all,

I am not an english speaker nor linguistic expert, but can we see his statement from this point of view:

BID NOW OR YOU CAN LOOSE (TO HAVE THESE FABULOUS ITEMS)

Because many sellers are afraid with snipers and encourage buyer to bid in advance so there will be actual bid wars?

regards
