Gloat??

I love auctions! Sometimes you get good deals like this, but 2/3 of the
time you get a couple of guys who bid the price up to double the value. A
couple of weeks ago I waited around 4 hours for a couple of #8s and I
couldn't even get my hand up to bid before it went way over what I thought
I'd have to bid to get them. Oh well, there's always another auction just
around the corner. Nice score on your wins!
