I had the same thing happen to me. I had asked a couple of people what they thought this item might sell for. One said $5,000. One said $15,000 to $20,000. The number I had in my head was $50,000. I felt that had a good chance of being a crazy enough bid based on the feedback I'd gotten from other collectors.
I was underbidder with a $16,000 bid for about a week but hadn't checked it for a few days. Tonight I thought I'd check and see where it was at the night before the final day of bidding. I was less than thrilled to see it was already at $45,000. I almost never place anything more than an initial bid on an item until well into the overtime period, but I thought that someone had probably but an autobid on it. Rather than spend tomorrow night in suspense with false hope, I decided to give it a shot and bid $47,500. Of course, there was an autobid and the item was immediately sitting at the exact dollar amount I had in my head to begin with. So it will be a stress-free auction end for me. Yay!
Also, the Nuggets were eliminated, the Rockies lost, my fantasy team was brutal, and my strat-o-matic team got demolished. Friday was not my day.
But Jim B. assures me that on my deathbed I will receive total consciousness.
So I got that going for me.
Which is nice.
