An eerie look into my deeply reclusive mind.

I came so close today to own a 100% legal copy of Delphi 7 Enterprise (I do own a legal copy of v5 but that was bought via college), beaten to the punch by another like minded ebayer. If there is something I really want I wait till the dying seconds to place a bid, if only I had waited another few seconds I might have got it.
As anyone who knows Delphi, Delphi 7 was the last version to feature the Original IDE, v8 saw Borland copy Visual Studio's IDE look and the Enterprise version its self was the most expensive, feature complete edition you could get. Over a thousand easily...

Anyway, right up until 1 min, the auction had been sitting at £46, at the 30 second mark I put my bid in at £100 hoping it'll be enough to see off anyone else's bids, plus it would be a bargain at that price not so much the pro version though. Straight away there had been another bid, shooting up the total to £94. Suffice to say the same person put a higher bid in, in what had to be less than 10 seconds to go. In the end I did manage to put another bid in but alas not high enough, but I wasn't going to pay anymore that what I put so I stuck to my guns and let it slip away.
Gutted I am, but I'll keep looking, as people move to Java & .NET there are sure to be more auctions. Now if anyone has a old copy of Delphi 7 Pro or Enterprise be sure to give me a shout, I will be interested less of course it's an academic license then no thanks.
