I hate being outbid by one bid too and it has happened more than I care to remember. I'd much rather be blown out of the water completely.

If I really want something I now put in a bid far higher than I really want to pay and just hope that it goes nowhere near that. If I still get beat then I'm more than happy to let the other nutter have it.

Even if you are the underbidder you never know how high the winner might have gone unless it is auction without a fixed end time (like emovieposter.com where bids made in the last five minutes trigger an automatic extension of the close time).

I agree with you Pug,I've been burned a number of times also.You tend to never live it down too.i now also put in my max bid and see what happens.For example this Beatles set I put in an auto bid for 3500 pounds the night before the auction,I checked it in the morning and was pleasantly surprised that not only did I win,but I didn't max out my max bid.

Paul. H

Do you know if the promo cards are a postcard or an actual black and white photo?

If anyone knows chime in.

It's not an official promo card as such, The Beatles never handed these out. It's of a type of picture card that was commonly sold here in the UK in both shops and by mail order by companies like Breville and Starpix
