I think what probably happened is that a few, including you, bid much higher than you thought it would reasonable go for, to guarantee you'd win it. If one person does, no big deal, but when 3 do it, the items winds up selling for much more than expected.

Don't worry Leon, you know where you can come to get rid of it once you're done enjoying it!
