The cost of winning

I recently discovered a song but could not, unfortunately, purchase it from ITunes (what is with this "partial disc" crap?!). I henceforth moved the search to e-bay and found the album in which the song was located. Since the cd was cheap and had a few other good songs I bid.....
Now, I promised myself I would not bid over the amazon.com price and, after adding shipping, could bid up to $10.00 without going over. This other bidder, however, kept outbidding me on auto-bid and I became annoyed and thus continued to bid. I am now the proud owner of the cd for the bargain price of $16.00 because I just couldn't stand to lose....
Should I have gone with Amazon instead? I would have saved money, true, but I would not have had the gratifying experience of winning! Thank you e-bay for the sought after song and the additional thrill of winning!

The proverbial "they" say e-bay is addicting....how true. I am the current high bidder on a much more expensive item ($51.00). The auction ends in about 20 minutes. Argh. Hope someone outbids me as do not think I can afford this presently haha!
