*smirk*

I did that

ONCE

darned near peed my pants when I saw that i had entered a max bid of $53, 000 instead of $53...

didn't see it till I pressed submit

was in the last few seconds of the auction so would be too late to retract

all I could do was sit there and watch

was like it was teasin' me

just had to watch as the page "turned over"

and then watch the timer count down those last few seconds..

I tell ya - each of those seconds felt like freakin' YEARS

my mouth was dry

and that clock - I swear it slowed down, just ticking down at its own leisure

oblivious to the potential horror unfolding

taunting me

mocking me

just knowin' there was nothing I could do

Thank goodness it only went for a bit over $60

but Crikey!

I could have had to sell my soul to pay for that thing!
