Not only that, I really don't have the money right now :( On that note, I'm not sure if that happens with the people on this group but I've heard of some animosity before because of some very disputed auctions. I've lost too many opportunities to list here but I've never taken anything personally. It's all fair game, as long as there's no cheating or any scheme used to drive up the price - that's not to say I don't lament losing it but I'm being honest when I say that I'm even happy for the person who wins. I have to think about the other side of the coin - the instances where I did win! :) Case in point: I once even bid against a close friend at work and we're still very close friends to this day!
