A long time ago I resigned myself to not getting the items I wanted in a competitive bid situation. Both a straight bidding war and putting in my best price just wasn't working for me. I don't set real life timers to remind me when fake item auctions expire. No big deal, life goes on.
Well I've been working a character through the mid-levels and was bidding on a +1 Fearsome Docent. I had about three bids over a three day period, each time outbid. Yesterday, I get home from work - the wife and kids had left for a minute - so I log on and make a bid. Within 15 seconds of placing the bid I got a message saying I won the auction. Score!
Didn't get the POP VIII, the superior combustion item, and some other item, but I totally rocked on the ugly looking docent.
