This was a once in a lifetime chance

It was 10:30 pm 7-30-2010. I was searching through ebay, when I came across a seller selling a roosevelt dime 2010-D NGC SMS MS69FT . I paused for a quick second,knowing that they just came out. I know I needed it for my registry. I almost fell out of my bed when I seen the price he was asking was 99.00 with free shipping or best offer. He had the description and the picture was not in the NGC case yet. In his description he gave the certification number. I jumped to NGC's website and typed in the certification number. Wow.. The seller was dead on accurate. I scrolled down to NGC's Population report. I clicked on the on the POP. It said the pop was currently unavailable for this coin. This means only one thing. The seller recieved the e-mail from NGC saying the coin has been shipped. He hurried up on e-bay and listed the item. So now , there is a POP 1 on ebay for 99.00 or best offer. I started shaking. I would have gladly paid 300.00 + for this coin . A POP 1 is hard to find. I know from experience that they probably be more more 2010-D NGC SMS MS69FT's in the future. But is some years there are only 2 known so far. I couldnt take that chance. I hurried up to ebay and told myself that I will leave a" best offer "and if he doesnt take it by the morning . I wil hit the" buy it now". I put in a movie and stayed on my lap top till 1:30. I kept refreshing the page hopeing the coin was still there ,or a message saying congradulations, you won the item with the best offer. I went to bed uneasy,knowing anyone could see that coin and hit the 'buy it now " button. I tossed and turned half the night. I got up at 6:13 am. I said thats it, this is my coin. The hell with the" Best Offer". I am going to buy it now. I cant take that risk of losing it. I opened my labtop. went to e-bay. I logged in and it said I have 1 item I need to pay for. I woke up immediatly and started to do a little dance. I couldnt be more happier this morning. The seller accepted my offer of 80.00 with shipping included. I stole this coin !!!!.
