Bidders remorse! Have you ever placed a bid that you wish didn't hold up?

In the early days of Mastro online you typed in your bid. I once added an extra digit to my bid with about fifteen minutes left. Ala 15,000 instead of intended 1,500. Luckily, no one else placed a bid in the last fifteen minutes.

Lucky indeed...

As for the original question, my only bidder's remorse has resulted from underbidding some lots that I might never see again (either ever, or at least for the price at the time...including some E125s). Should have gone harder after those.

Definitely something I experience practically every auction season. I also buy from my sell money and I bought the most expensive (for me) card I ever purchased in the spring Heritage auction. Great card, one I wanted to own for a very long time, but I wince ever so slightly when I think of it.

Thanks for the replies folks. I think I may need to rephrase my "remorse" comment. I am happy to own another one of these Cobbs, it is just setting me back a while on a project that I was very close to finishing, that I have been working on for nearly two years, that I was just getting back on track with after getting butterfly eyed over the last few months.

Thanks again,
Bob

Hope your buyers shock is wearing down, you can't ever go wrong with a nice Cobb !!

That was exactly my thought when I read the original post.

I will agree 100% with Blair. Under bidders remorse or spending alot on a few cards and then out of no where comes your "Eleanor" at the range you have been waiting for and you are A$$ broke. Missed 3 different ones this month due to Bills coming first.

I would say irregardless of the price, you did want it more than someone else and it is a very nice Cobby.
