the one that got away - how do you handle grief?

I just lost a bid for my dream speakers that I had been chasing for a decade. It was pretty stupid because I missed the last hour and maybe I would have won it with another $100. But maybe it's a sign, it's just a piece of hardware, that I should not be obsessed with. - "you can't always get what you want"

Did you always get the gear you thought would make you whole?

@twoleftears ,

That is interesting!

With its little accent thingies it becomes the word 'snitch.' In a different language, of course.

Grief? Seriously? Maybe you should get some perspective.

My dream speakers, farewell to thee. My love for you is real, even though I knew you not. Whether you’ve gone to a better place, is absolutely Not in my thoughts. Such a bitter pill. Against farewell my Almost Love (smooches)

@secretguy OK, I am sorry. I am an idiot mourning the wrong things.

You can either follow an auction until the last minute, which some enjoy, or use a sniper and enter your maximum bid and forget about it - you'll either get it or you won't.  Some enjoy the drama of actively bidding themselves; I tired of it early on as I acquired a lot of stuff via auctions (mostly non- stereo) and the 'fun' of bidding left me early on.
