It Is All About the Win Now

I spy it in the galleria It is gorgeous, a cabinet of my choosing I bid on it, confident. There is another bid. I turn and stare at my opponents – two of them. They begin outbidding each other 40, 45, 60, 70, 80. A hundred and twenty! I yell. I don’t even want it now, but it is all about the win. I finally get it at $300, a sixty dollar cabinet. Whew!

OMG, sounds like me. I had to quit going to auctions because I bid on the most useless crap and would keep bidding if someone was bidding against me. I thought that was how you were supposed to do. You could probably have put the cabinet up for rebidding and recouped your money...maybe made a profit!

I have to tell you I am a MANIAC at bidding!
