J LevineI agree with Jay on this one...I often bid the minimum on a lot just to track it and then either snipe it later if it is something I want or bid quietly at the end of auction. Every now and then, the minimum wins and I am very happy.
My problem is also card rage, I was so darn tired of Bob outbidding me on Obaks that I gave up for awhile...now that he is done, I can get back in the game.
The worst case of card rage I had was getting outbid on a Sealtest Phillie by a $1 for the third time by the same guy. The last one came up five minutes later and I put in a huge bid (I thought)...with 30 seconds he met my high bid and passed it, with 5 seconds to go I put in another bid and won, spending nearly twice what I thought the card was worth....
The upside is that Sealtests are so darn tough, that I got another example about three years later of the same card (for just above my original price to boot) and sold the former one for a small profit!
