Truth is, I bid a lousy $75, but it will only to up $1 over the maximum bid.
If someone came it at $70, it would have jumped to $71 in my favor. I was
easily outbid on this. Since there was a reserve, I had no chance of
winning at such a cheap pittance. After reading the offerings, the reserve
had to be in the $1000 range.

The ribbing part was obvious. We've both been here long enough to know that.
I give it out enough so I'd better be able to take it also.
