Are you quite certain that whatever the winner's bid was his/her highest bid? What if that person had put in a bazillion dollar bid, you still would have lost by a few bucks.
I am in agreement with whoever(s) said get it new. I'm poor too, but I scrounged up whatever it took to get the Ti frame of my dreams. Bikes of dreams are custom made (or should be), IMO.
OTOH, maybe your sweetie
was the other bidder!
