I'm so nervous about going to this auction next month. I'm going to set a dollar limit of 1k in my head, but who knows if I'll get anything. I'm not sure if this is an auction like we've seen on TV, or I'm submitting a written bid, or what? Anyone know for sure?

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...)
