Auction Prices

[Eddy Swynar]

I sometimes suspect that persons who can't wait to vent their
opinions/frustrations on something like these "..ridiculously high"-bid
items are, in reality, grappling with a bit of jealously/envy toward the
person doing the selling...

Haven't we ALL, at one time or another, either tossed away or sold for
peanuts, some little "gem" now worth the big bucks..? I know I certainly
have---and the only solution is to "...get over it"!

Count your blessings, not your regrets, and like someone else here said, be
GLAD for the guy paying for the object (obviously!) of his dreams...

My $0.02...and nothing more.
