I feel so tired, and if that is not all, Ebay keeps sending me e-mails that I have to pay the auction I won for the 
MMM Duvet Coat. Well to bad I already got one, so I am not taking any actions. But I do think two Duvet Coats are fine too. No I am not rich, and I promised my wallet. I am not crazy to pay for a second one!



I just received an e-mail from the seller on Ebay. and I totally know that it's about me winning the MMM Duvet Coat with the highest bid. But I can't have two of the same coat?! That's going to be two times 259.- euro's/ 618.- !!! Even better, I'm getting doubts of whether to but the MMM Duvet Coat or the MMM Pea Coat, for which I'm slowly falling in love with too. How can I retain myself?

I can...

  • stop browsing the Internet for a while, just to get the MMM for H&M Collection out of my mind, and the spotlight. It's everywhere!
  • get to art. I'm on an art academy, and soon hopefully a CEO for a new upcoming company i'll be starting with my best Pigeonic friend.
  • sleep and forget it all. - maybe the easy way out -
Anyhow, I can't keep the e-mail unread, but yet at the other side, I'm scared to confront what I've done to myself. I've been told in the beginning that I shouldn't be bidding on Ebay, and still I've done it, just for the MMM Duvet Coat. and to think of it... was it worth it? I'm still not sure. I'm not a fashion-guru type at all - starting one - but you see, the amazing collaboration H&M is doing with amazing guest designers I've never heard of! It's so inspiring! Have you seen the Silent Manifesto of MMMxH&M? Here's a little video. So inspiring!

 

After posting this little clip, the second e-mail arrived with a little I can read in description:

"Well Done, for the next step you have to pay! Congratulations with your purchase!" 


I'm not feeling so well... Hey it's just Internet,right? I'll just see what comes next if I don't take any actions. I might get suspended from Ebay, but I asked for it. Such punishment... I'm suffering little by little...



I kept trying canceling my last bid on Ebay, when this message suddenly until:

"Invalid Item
The item you requested (200853164176) is invalid, still pending, or no longer in our database. Please check the number and try again. If this message persists, the item has either not started and is not yet available for viewing, or has expired and is no longer available."

Am I saved?


Where did I lead myself into! I'm in the biggest problem to ever think of currently. Since the Martin Margiela for H&M came out I desperately wanted the Duvet Coat or the Candy Wrapper Clutch, so, to not think of that the collection would sell out this quickly in the H&M web-shop... I did continue my search on Ebay because I was literary dying for it. When I entered this evil place, a forbidden apple caught my attention named Bidding. Yes, I actually bidded for the first time. I bidded straight away without reading the rules and knowing it's consequences!

"As a general rule, you can't retract or cancel a bid. When you place a bid, you agree to pay for the item if you're the winning bidder"

Which I found out 30 minutes ago. Well, you can't imagine the worst case. If my extreme possession personality scales from 1 to 10 it definitely is a fat 9 - mainly cause I can't decide that quickly and create buck-loads of dilemma for a simple pick- So I bidden on 7 different MMM Duvet Coats on Ebay, all 2x the actual price. Yes, I would stab myself now. But Luckily... I've been outbid on 5 items already and had the chance to cancel 1. So that makes the case a bit easier for me, I almost had a nerve breakdown receiving, two not in the good mood messages from the sellers them self, saying that they won't take my bid away and had to buy it when the bid ends. I swear I want to strangle myself right now for that action.



So that makes me stuck with one 1 bid currently which will end in 1 hour now... I'm pretty scared, because I bought my MMM Duvet Coat already in the H&M web-shop, and I couldn't retract this one and only bid because that action had to be taken 12 hours before the bid ends!
... really if my parents find out of this bid, I'm dead meat. I already explained the seller the cause of canceling my bid, but that wasn't enough. So, I came up with a plan.

I won't do anything.

When the bid ends with my name on it as highest bidder, I will ignore it to the end. Wise decision? I read my Ebay account might get suspended or even deleted. -Sigh- for the sake of my poor anorexic wallet, it's better that way. There is always Etsy, and the H&M web-shop where they don't sell guest designer items for 2x the price.

So, stick with me while I silently panic in a corner, waiting what to happen when the bid ends... I'm worried and scared. What to do?! I'll update the happenings after the bid ends. -Inner Cry- Please stick with me to the bitter end. I have nothing or no-one to cling on to.


I just don't know what to do with myself...
