Outbid on Ebay

I never use Ebay. But when I decided I wanted a vintage Elf like my mom bought back in 1966, I thought the internet auction site would be the ideal place to find and hopefully buy a piece of history.

Well, it's 4:04 a.m. and I was just outbid for my 1950s Union Blow Mold 23" Lighted Elf. When I began the bidding process, the plastic Santa's helper was just $25. It sold for $163. Someone named "PMF" swooped in at the last minute and bought it. Oh well. I guess there's always next year. I mean, I wouldn't have been able to even use the cute little guy until Christmas 2008. But you never know what will be available. Time to go back to bed.
