[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 7425408, member: 82549"]Well, not exactly buyer's remorse. More like imposter syndrome. Most of everything I bid on in the last Roma eAuction went for multiples of what I bid. But I did won FOUR! count'em, FOUR! lots of Greek bronzes, two from the William Stancomb collection. I don't think I've ever won this many lots in a single auction before. And, in the same spirit of "any club willing to accept me as a member is probably not worth joining," I'm thinking "any lots that I was able to win in this auction I probably spent way too much on." Maybe it's just because prices have seemed way out of whack recently, but I can't shake this feeling. Does anyone else ever feel this way? Hoping against hope that you will have the high bid in an auction, and then immediately thinking: "oh, no! I just spent much, much more on this than it's worth!" Is this just human nature, or do I have self-image issues?[/QUOTE]
