never look back.

Twice now, I have had second thoughts and re-upped my bid. Once because "when was the last time you saw one o' dem" and the other was a bad case of the "gotta-haves".

B-I-N is usually more than I am willing to pay (I am a cheap so-and-so) but there are things I have bought straight up like that.

The ones that make me go "Huh?" are the high dollar items which carry a reserve and a starting bid of $0.01 and no B-I-N. You know danged well they think they are asking too much and don't want to admit it.....well, I suspect so anyway.
