Ooops - did I just say that!
I've lost some great things at the last second, because: the phone rang, my attention span waned, the computer crashed, or there was just a delay in processing... But when one goes through, and you beat somebody with just a few seconds - IT'S SWEET! I like to imagine them yelling, "CRAP! Somebody just out-bid me!", and then trying to hurriedly re-bid; resulting in the dreaded: "AUCTION ENDED"... Call it Pretzel Logic, or just me being down-right EVIL!!!
