I once bid in an auction with a company I thought was pretty honest( I won't name them as I have no real proof they did anything unethical) basically they had several small autograph lots of less than 20 cards each. They were all worth about the same. I put in bids on them willing to pay between $100 and $150. To my horror on the last day of bidding I went to check my bids and noticed I had mistakenly put a ceiling bid of $1350 on one of them! I thought about calling them and telling them this but then just decided how much higher could it go for what I really wanted to pay for it?
So, the auctions end that night all selling for around $150 and how much do you think the one I screwed up on sold for? $570 and there is no way those cards were worth anything near that and I just had a hard time believing a legitimate bidder kept bidding that lot up and was willing to pay that much for them.
