People aren't perfect decision making machines. Particularly with regard to a discretionary purchase like a collectible that they are passionate about. But most people here are perfectly rational and analytical in their bidding approach so I may be in the minority.
I've also had more than a few drinks at charity auctions and overbid for crap that I really don't need.
