I recently placed a bid only to ensure I continued to get catalogs from a particular auction house....it was a lot of ten, identical items and I can't get rid of the nine I don't need.

Funny. I did the same thing once - was stunned to win five signed lithographs for my marker bid, which was about 1/2 of what they worth. They turned out to be facsimile signatures, which apparently other bidders had figured out. The auction house refunded my money and told me to keep them, so I made five people very happy by giving them each away over time.
