Auction Bid Regret
With the REA auction ending tomorrow night I began to think about past auctions, not just REA but any auction but not eBay, where I wish I would have pulled the trigger and bid again. What I mean is there that item(s) that we gave up on bidding higher and just went to bed knowing that we were the under bidder , this does not include setting a max bid and then going to bed and waking the next day to find we lost it by 1 bid, but rather just throwing in the towel and after heavy thinking just went to bed knowing we were the under bidder and then regretted the next day not adding another bid to try to win that item. I have 6 from over the years that haunt me, there are a few more but these are the main ones:
1. Dickey Pierce's scrapbook with his auto from REA 6-7 years ago
2. "Lefty " Williams pay check from Lou Lipset 11 years ago
3. Hank O' Day and Frank Grant signed sheet from last year in Lou Lipset's
4. Eddie Gaedel signed album page from Mastro
5. Sol White letter from The Halper Auction
6. Vic Willis HLS and signed business card from Mastro.
I don't know if this thread will take off but let's see what happens.
