I bid what I'll pay and no more. Do that at live auctions
Yup, I learned that from you a few years back. I was bidding piecemeal on a browning 1895 and missed putting in my final bid. It sold for a low price, less than actual value. I whined publicly (of course) and you said simply bid what you are willing to pay. Had I done that, I might well have won that auction but instead I was dribbling the bids out a shekel at a time.
