Some new sellers like to get all excited and watch the count-down

If an item has had a few messages, maybe four or five bids already and 15 or 20 watchers, it can be a bit of fun to watch the auction finish. I would like to be all hairy chested and say I dont care, but when you get that last minute rush of bids and an item sells for much more than expected, who doesnt get a little bit excited ?
Like the time I sold a set of owners books for an old 1950,s Victa lawnmower. They cost me $5.00 at a swap meet. I listed them expecting to get $40 or $50. They where well over $100 with ten minutes to go and in a frantic finish with multiple bidders ended up making $370.00. Now thats exciting. ( or maybe I just need to get out more LOL ) 
There's a saying in our family to stop you getting excited about anything.
And that saying is '69 watchers' that's all.
Had an auction, started at $15 - expected it to sell at $50 or more.
Hard to get item - usually sells well when it comes up every 6 months or so.
$15 - some profit, but................
It had 69 watchers. And one bid.
Down to the closing seconds..............................................
and it sold for $15.50!! 69 watchers
