You can look at the tags in the sidebar and see if any of the items look familiar. The other really horribly tedious but possibly easier for you way is to click on October 2009 in the sidebar, which will give you a chronological listing of all posts. If your OP was a good poster and gave a useful title, it should be fairly easy to find your items. If you still can't find them, tell me roughly what you remember and once I'm done doing bumps, I'll look into it.

thank you - these were the 2 i was trying to find :)

the tag system could help you, I think? However, if you don't remember what you bid on. haha. IDK. I think I'll track threads on any future items I bid on and trust that the OPs will nudge us at auction end if we've won.

I tracked each auction that I was bidding on (I know this doesn't help you now...but if you find them again you can always hit the track button.) It emails me whenever someone comments on the post - so I know I've been outbid or whatever. :)

A suggestion that I thought about making but didn't (something I did on another auction) was to NUMBER each of the auctions; that makes it much easier for everyone to track.

Any way to go back and do that? 'Cause, yes, I'm having a bit of trouble with this myself.

Only if each original poster does it. It would also be nice if they all had enlightening titles, but mods can only delete posts, not edit content.

Durn, that's what I figured. It worked for me only because I posted all the auctions in my own LJ.

denelian October 29 2009, 00:49:52 UTC

well, i found one that i bid on.
and i know that i got out-bid on two others, because i *do* get alerts if someone replies to something i wrote... it's more, i think there are 1 or 2 *other* things that i have bid on that i haven't seen anything about since :)

go me, right? maybe there is a way to search for comments i made? hrm.

but thank you, everyone!

From experience, it takes about 30 minutes to click through all the lots, starting from my auction (which is happily tagged with my SN for easy finding). You could then Ctrl+F your username and hit "find" on each auction. A pain in the butt but doable.

ah! good idea, thank you!
