Boy, I wonder if this thread is about me... :-) I agree with Gregory on this. Bid the max you're willing to pay. Sometimes when I'm at the edge of my budget I'll pass on a few auctions. Only to find later that no other bids were placed and that the item sold way under what I would have been

You could always bid high enough where this won't happen. Most people are afraid to go that extra 1.00. Try it, it may work for you! But really, not much you can do about it. That's life. Matt Mike Groetz wrote: Good Morning- This is probably a little off topic- but a comment I would like to
