I wasn’t being sarcastic. I realized my bid was off. I totally expected to have to buy this coin and began this thread in a moment of relief. BTW $1000+ I wouldn’t have given a 💩 if it was $100 coin.
Set your max bid and live with the results.
I know how difficult this is to do and must admit that I only follow this advice 98% of the time. The remaining 2% can be costly. I do not do Nuclear bids, so I can recover quickly on the extra costs.

My problem was I knew this coin but apparently I don’t know it anymore. Placed a bid on history then learned price has come way down. I paid more for one 30 years ago. Actually I bought it raw had it slabbed came back unc. and sold it for more 30 years ago.

A couple of weeks ago I almost accidentally bit $2000+ on an item I was trying to bid $20 and change on. I am really, really glad I payed attention and didn't do that, although I did end up winning it around $18 so I guess I would have been ok either way.

You’re welcome, I guess
In this hobby you better get used to it. You just got to move on and hope for a better outcome next time.
@JimTyler
I had the opposite outcome, well ... maybe not opposite. Different.
Thank you! To whoever let my bid stand at less than 80% of my max.

Some you win,
Cheers, RickO
Some you lose,
Either way, it is just fine,
Pour yourself a glass of wine.
Sometimes the loser turns out to be the winner, in the end.
I chased a few that I'm happy that I didn't "catch".

I’m sorry for your loss

Was close on one but o well maybe next time didn't like it that much to go for over retail..
I've been saved by a higher bid on occasion myself. Congrats!

Figure it would be you, you nosy💩 😉.
Your smartest bid is often times the bid you didn’t make.
So wise grasshopper. Where the hell were you last night ?
I had what I thought was a strong bid on an item last night, to the point where I thought I might regret owning it.
I was shocked to see the result, it sold for more than 50% over my max bid.
I feel like I was bailed out, but wonder why it was bid up so high.
