I can remember more than once having put in a max bid before going to bed, then waking up the next morning hoping like hell that I didn't win the item.

Default Amen!
Bidding under the influence is a recipe for a bad hangover.

Sometimes you get lucky and are outbid. Other times, not so much and winners remorse inevitably sets in.

You are a child of the universe,

you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.

In my case, I gotta wonder how many girls thought the same thing. LOL

Default 2nd best
Being 2nd pays off sometimes. I've had a few times where I bid high on a scarce item and didn't win. Before long, a similar one comes on the market and sells for 30% less. Somebody decided to sell their card when they saw the high sale price on the similar card.
