I also have purchased many items on auctions, although I'm probably not a member of the elite "million dollar club". I continually hear about how crooked auctions are. So complaints legitimate, so maybe not. I have done both poorly and well on different items. Just a couple things I have learned, for what they are worth. Never stand next to the piece you intend to bid on. That give you the worst possible vantage point to be able to see your opposing bidder. Set a price in your mind and stay with it, if you dont, you have no one to blame but yourself. Inspect, inspect, inspect..... For myself, I look at a piece early in the day, set a price in my mind, then move on. I like to go get a sandwich and come back after a bit and eat the sandwich within hearing distance from the item I'm interested in. I never cease to be amazed what other people will notice that I had overlooked. I then come up with a firm price in my mind and live with it come he(( or high water. In the end it all boils down to the old saying "you spends your money and you takes your chances".
