I had put a bid in on a new Dolce Specialized road bike on Ebay...minimum bid and then, a week later found a great Trek road bike on Craigslist. I already have a mountain bike at home and my husband thinks one bike is enough. But I was getting really tired of using slicks on my mountain bike, and wanted a road bike.
Well, I drove over to the sellers house (Craigslist), and tried out the Trek. Loved it and the price and that it fit me (I'm 5'1"). So, I bought it.
Came home, checked my email only to find I also won the auction for the brand new Dolce Specialized bike.
My husband is going to have a cow!

Enjoy your new bikes
Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

I'm not ebay proficient, but is it possible to find out who the 2nd highest bidder is & perhaps negotiate with her/him? Could also communicate via email with the seller explaining the problem. Perhasps the dilemma could be resolved together?
Let us know how you get on. Cheers & good luck.
