me too...and lately I have had the reverse "problem" as the op proposes.

I've been paying more than I wanted and winning all of it!!!!

So my "solution" is to not participate on any upcoming auctions for awhile!

If I'm shut out in an auction, I do find myself to be a bolder bidder in the following auction. If it's an item I really want, I will bid very very strongly as my patience isn't what i would like it to be. If it's an item thats not commonly offered, Im going to push my financial limits.
