Chris,
I think you can take your hairshirt off :) According to the bidding list,
the first bid was by caz4 at 4:34 PDT, and you didn't place your first bid
until 6:11 PDT. Remember, the bidder list is sorted by bid amount, not by
bid time. So, you can blame caz4 for either a) not getting it him/herself at
a good price or b) leaving it alone for someone else :)
