Not unlike gambling, I don't do well at an auction.  Sure, if you don't get "emotionally attached" to an item you might save a buck or two or walk away with nothing.  When your heart is in the purchase, you really want it, and you lose in the final minute, that sucks.

I've never bought anything at an auction nor even bid on an item at one. I have bought a few things on Gun Broker but only if it has a buy now price that I am willing to pay.

I won one auction over on Gun Broker on a pre 60s Winchester model 70, 30/06. I only won it by a margin of $20,00.

I went to a County auction, saw a diesel tractor, a possible replacement for the beater of a gasoline tractor I already had, and with cash in pocket was going to bid, but watched the bids start from everything I had in pocket to twice that amount.  Considering the County's tractor probably had been used every day, all day, and twice again on Sunday, that wasn't the tractor for me.
