when you are just about to hit the bid button you feel a little nervous and excited. Then your bid is either rejected and you are dissapointed and relieved, or you are the high bidder and you are relieved and dissapointed.
Then if you are outbid, you feel the same again, and have to decide if you're going to do it all over again.

I'm a nervous nelly about auctions. Never just happy to let it roll. Can't just put in my best bid and wait. No way. I'm on the edge of my seat the whole time.

BTW, I'm high bidder right now.[:D]

    I've always been the calm sort it seems. Not incapable of feeling surprise by any means but in many ways I seem to benefit naturally from whatever sort of brain chemicals some folks take medication for to calm the heck down and not panic. This trait has stood me well back in my EMT Rescue Dude Daze, and various other unpleasantness.

    That said I did experience some surprise when a few days ago I went to bed fully expecting to lose another auction and awoke to find I had won this boomstick with $10 left to go on my maximum bid:
    http://www.GunBroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=332547507

    Woke me right up when I saw that. Changed my Saturday plans and got that payment together, FFL contacted, all in the mail by noon.

    Good thing I have that ammo closet, new guns tend to be hungry at first!


    Good luck with your overnight bidding adventure. [:)]
