If your last second bid won the item then you paid more than I was willing to.
+1. I wonder who these last-minute bidders think they're fooling..."Oh, maybe this current high bidder wasn't smart enough to figure out what the part was worth to them when they bid...if I sit by my computer all night, I can sneak in at the last minute and steal it before they bid again!"
