bidding, is that, I only have one chance at becoming

I agree totally.  It is fun and exciting.  As a bidder I hate to see a lot
get maxed out price-wise with 5 days left.  Chill out, you don't need to be
the high bidder the whole week.  As a seller I don't even bother to be
around at the end of an auction.  My starting bids are generally what I want
out of whatever I'm selling.  If euphoria drives it higher than yeah for me
but I don't demand it.  To snipe and be sniped it downright fun.  I love it.
