To be completely honest, I've never actually won any auction that I truely regretted. Like CC-Hangfire, I've spent $20 or so more than I really wanted to and eaten tuna sandwiches for lunch for the next week to justify it to myself. About the most I ever really "overpaid" for a firearm was a 20ga Antonio Zoli over/under that I paid $500 plus shipping and FFL for that really should have been more like $500 total.
