How can I manage this?

I have never been an EBay bidder or seller, however, I have found something there I wouldn't mind get getting if possible. I'd rather not have to create an account for a one time purchase, but this item would simply make my Meg's Christmas day a sheer joy.
Any Ideas?

You cant buy without an account. Why not create one Redd? It's free and someday you might want to buy more...can be addictive tho.
Get a friend who has an account to buy it for you.
Cheers, Dave

Is there someone you know with an ebay account that could get it for you if you give them the money ?

I'd be more than happy to reimburse someone for the cost if I ended up winning the bid war. I don't want an account like Dave suggested, because it IS addicting for many and I don't have the kind of income it takes to play that risk.

I should have an account still Redd. Drop me an email. I could get it for you by bidding what you want. I could even bid in the last few seconds for you. Remember, the seller does not have to "drop ship" it to you if you are using someone else to buy it...though many will.

LMAO Redd. It's not gambling. You can become a member and never buy anything. If you do decide to bid, don't be fooled because the highest bidder price is way lower than you're willing to pay.
90% of the people who win an auction puts their bid in at the last 4 seconds using a snipe bid. Good luck.

No bidding war required. Bid the maximum you want to pay for the item. Ebay will raise your bid automatically until your level is reached. Some used items sell for more than it is to buy them new, probably because people get excited by hand bidding.
Unless I really need the item, and it cannot not be found anywhere else I only bid 1/4 of what I think the item is worth.

So I did it. I registered. I talked to Dyl, asked him if Meg would be as excited as I thought she might be.
I know what this item retails for. I Know that if I win with my max bid, it's worth it.
Dyl thinks Meg would faint if I got this.
Ok so I'm a softy for my kids.

Cool.
The best thing to do on e-bay is not to bid until the last minute Pegg. Put in on your watch list so you can monitor the price until then

Holy Shiat Don, thats an awsom price but this is copied not original. The "real" set is a 7 DVD's not 3.
I'll stick with the Ebay set which I know is authentic.

This guy has a lot more and does a lot of business. Check his "other" items...even more on the second page.

It wouldn't surprise me if he has multiples of this stuff too. Keep an eye on him.

Easy Redd. Retract your bid. Politely tell the seller you have a family obligation and have to leave town for a while.
If you do it soon enough, it shouldn't affect his auction.
I've sold thousands of things on Ebay. If someone retracts, I don't get mad. I understand sometimes people have a problem and need to retract.
It is better than them having to buy something they dont want or to just not complete the deal.

There is almost 4 days left Redd. Retract the bid now, and I don't feel the seller should have any complaint.
Some sellers don't like it, but as I said it is better that way sometimes.
Just go here and plug in the item number and reason. No big deal.
