Boys and Girls,
Question.
If something is at auction and you decide you are willing to pay, let's say
$100.00 for it and someone outbids you, why is it the higher bidder's fault that
after the fact, you decide that you would have paid more than $100.00, but just
failed to enter a bid for that new maximum amount?
Why not just r e a l l y think about what the item is worth to you and bid
that
amount?
And if your response is going to be "Whatever I bid someone will outbid me.", I
don't buy that argument.
