[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 5126701, member: 80952"]It happens unfortunately. In about 8 years of collecting, I had my share of issues: - last second outbids, even if I was there, but somebody had a better strategy - simply forgetting for the moment about items in auctions - technical bloopers - browser crashing EXACTLY when the live auction for the item I wanted was in place. Most frustrating ones are cases 2 and 3. I have a favorite auction house and they have 1-2 auctions each month, but with 1500+ items. Usually I prepare a wishlist, but if the items I want are numbers 2, 337, 876 and 1256 it seems to be easy enough to miss something. And usually when I remember that I want lot 876 the auction is already at lot 878. For case 3, for some reason my laptop decided it's a good idea to crash in the EXACT wrong moment a few times already, so I keep the website open on both my laptop and PC on live auctions I'm interested in. I try not to get extremely frustrated because in the end it's bad for your mood/health. It happens. Last time I lost an item due to browser crash, in the same auction I won 26 coins. I prefer thinking that I have 26 new coins, not that I don't have 27.[/QUOTE]
