I've been trying to complete a birth reg set for me wife for awhile now and happen upon a 61 Lincoln on eBay a couple days ago. PCGS PR68CAM,... last piece needed for the Cam (trying to stay affordable here). I put an early bid in, which I usually never do, but forgot to check again until the last minute. I went to check on it and it said I had 53 seconds left, so immediately I try and place a max of $90.00 for fear of loosing the opportunity.
Well, must have been lag between servers, because by the time I hit the last "submit" button the auction had ended for $37.50, and it wasn't my $37.50. I guess it wouldn't bother me so much if the pop was astronomical, but with it being 40/10 @ 69, none higher,... there went my chances for awhile I think.
Why couldn't the damned thing been on DLRC or DHRC or somewhere so I could just buy it and be done with it?? Why didn't I just initially bid the 20+ bucks over what the trend is to begin with, so that my lapse in memory wouldn't get the better of me? Sometimes I loathe auctions!!
OK, I'm done venting now.

Nah, Lucy. It'll never make it through me thick skull. Get a Magnun
Offer the winner a hunnerd bucks????
I had that very thought, Topstuf, but after the last one that didn't sell in an auction from a 16 coin lot, I offered to buy the coin from the seller at whatever premium they felt reasonable and never got a reply. In fact, the copy of the email I sent them had the typical eBay blurb, warding sellers/buyers to beware of people offering outside the arena. I think I scared them away, even though my email was upfront. Nevertheless, I just might do that.

Why? As you get older it takes you all night to do what you used to be able to do all night long!
