Been there and done that, when it comes to bidding on sales on Gun Broker. I usually do my research of the item being offered and set a limit on how much I'm willing to pay. Then I grit my teeth and watch it go.
$1,380. was a good price but... had you bid again who knows how far it could have gone?
I've seen several prices just get crazy when 2 or 3 people just got to have it. No thanks.
Better luck next time.
