Online auctions

To go with my nice new Nikon D300 (Its still lovely) I wanted to get a Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 zoom, so I had a look on eBay. I found a likely candidate, and put in a bid. Nothing happened for a long while.
In the last few hours, several other bidders pushed the bid up, but I was still in the lead. I added a bit to my bid.
Then in the last 60 seconds, someone topped it.
Bother, I thought, I wanted that!

Then while searching for another likely candidate, I found one that had sold a few hours earlier for £50 less than the winner of the auction I was in.
I'm glad I didn't win now, as that would have been irritating.
