<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 3169038, member: 57495&quot;]I&#039;ve never bid the wrong amount, but a few years ago I ended up winning a coin in a live auction which I was accessing with my phone (dumb), using an account approved to bid even though I wasn&#039;t intending to bid on anything (dumber), and I accidentally hit the bid button while absently scrolling and watching TV at the same time (my dumb dial goes up to &quot;11&quot;). </p><p><br /></p><p>My mouth went dry when I saw what the coin was and how much I had won it for (~$700 after fees and shipping).&nbsp; My typical spend at the time was $50-$60 per coin, and I considered contacting the auction house to plead with them to let me off the hook.&nbsp; In the end, I couldn&#039;t figure out how to explain my utter doofusness to them without coming across like a uhm... utter doofus.&nbsp; I decided to just suck it up.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]814944[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>IONIA, Ephesos</b></p><p>AR Drachm. 4.17g, 17.8mm.
