Nate starts to worry


Nate:But what if I don't win what I bid on?

Gilly:Then it wasn't meant to be. Some people have put up a hard fight for some items I bid on. But I was the sole bidder 1 for this bag and got it dirt-cheap.

Nate:It seems that you can e-mail the seller and ask questions.

Gilly:Sure. I've even e-mailed some people who had bought from the person who sold this bag.

Nate:And people are honest?

Gilly:They said he was an honest and professional businessman. But that's the exciting part. It's kind of like gambling 2....

奈特开始担心起来


奈特:不过万一我没竞标到呢?

吉莉:注定无缘那就算了。有些人想尽办法要标我要的东西。不过我是这包包唯一的投标者,所以很便宜就到手了。

奈特:似乎可以寄电子邮件问卖家问题。

吉莉:当然了。我甚至寄电子邮件给几位跟卖这个包包的人交易过的对象。

奈特:那大家都很诚实吗?

吉莉:他们说他是个诚信又专业的生意人。但那就是刺激所在。这有点像在赌博……
