Auction Fever

In order to fill an entire store with things I've altered or found interesting, I have been hitting a LOT of auctions.  I'm still learning a few things about leaving an auction feeling successful but the hardest lesson is not to get caught up in the fever and start bidding just to compete!  In the past few weeks I know I've failed at that on more than one occasion! lol   It's just so harrrddd! When I want something so bad and it's right there but these other idiots...errr people want it too! How dare they!  And then I become determined to "win".  Not a good idea ! haha   Oops!  I'm learning the hard way and lets just say that I can't wait for warmer weather to return so I can go back to my favorite junking place... the flea markets!  There it's just all about the hunt and my competitive side stays put.
