<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 1857980, member: 23368"]This is strictly fictitious but it is a possibility :>) I think another factor is frustration. You have lost the last bunch of items by one bid or so, always in the last second.(sniped) You become careless and want to brake your bad streak. You push your high bid envelope well beyond what you normally would. Then it happens, you win and over pay for the item without hope of recovering your cost. Then you really feel the frustration of what you did and what a dummy you were. (Then I tape the coin to the frame on my monitor so I can see it every time I look at another auction.) :>([/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
