I really hate auctions

[walkitout]

I did in fact win the Backcountry auction, but in the last two or three seconds, someone who had not previously bid at all swooped in and drove my price up another $40.

I freaking hate that.

However, it's still (barely) less than I would have paid for the Quicksilvers, so as long as they show up and are in the as-described condition, I'm happy.
