    Missed opportunity

    I missed out on a heck of an opportunity yesterday! I was watching the iaa auctions yesterday and I saw three complete refrigerated box trucks sold for 25 dollars a piece! Same bidder got all three of them too.

    just because he got them for 25 doesn't necessarily mean that if you had been involved, that you would have had them for 26. That is an ongoing misconception, which although could seem the case, the reality is that shortly after you had(if you had been there) bid 26, you would most likely have been answered with an incoming 27

    Trust me bear I understand that fact. I'm just saying I would've liked to have been in shoes. Who knows? If I was bidding against him the excitement of an auction could have taken hold and prices could have gone into the thousands.
