EDIT- I don't mean to imply that I have a grand to just throw away, but I'm afraid I might get carried away, being surrounded by the belongings of the heroine of my lifetime. So I'm giving myself a hard "don't get carried away, dumbass" limit.
This is what happened to me at the last auction. I had a limit that was in retrospect higher than was wise to begin with, and then went almost 50% over that when someone was bidding head-to-head with me over the item I wanted. In the end I spent in the higher 4-figures, way more than I had ever intended. When I won I was like......holy sh&t.....what have I just done?? (I was bidding online, have no idea if the other bidders were in person or also online or what...)
