This is my first time chime'n in on an "overbidding" post, so here it goes. In my short 7 or 8 months of bidding (lost count and quit care'n about time anyway), this is the one rule that I ALWAYS keep.....no matter how bad I might want what I'm looking at....................IF I CAN'T GET IT FOR MORE THEN 50% SAVINGS, I AIN'T GET'N IT.
I keep hearing about all of this overbidding BS, but let me hit ya with some knowledge.....we are all men or women, if you can't control your impulses maybe you shouldn't be on the innerweb buy'n stuff. If that's not your excuse, then you must just be a fool for not doing your research. Go to what I call the "Mother Site"/"Mothership" (Cigars International....not sure if anyone else calls it that or not, just popped into the ol' grey matter), find what it is that you're about to bid on, and decide your ceiling. Problem solved.
Just my .02 cents worth
