Ha, I know EXACTLY how close I was to winning it, mister! I was CTRL+F5-ing every 3-4 seconds in the final minute.
Before I bid it was somewhere around $22 and I just entered double that amount, knowing that other people would probably bid on it too and hoping it wouldn't go that high. It got to $24 with my bid, then 30 seconds later I saw my bid was raised to the maximum ($44), so somebody else had bid either $43 or $44. There were about 15 seconds left to bid again, but in a brief moment of rationality I decided that $44 (plus w/ shipping from Canada would probably end up at around $60) was more than I was willing to spend on this... so I'm actually glad you made that final bid, even though it's a record I'd really like to have. I hope you'll enjoy it a lot.
Maybe it won't show up again for months and I'll regret this in the future, but a quick look in my paypal account learns me that I've spent several hundreds of euros on music/books/DVDs just in the past few weeks.

Maybe subconsciously this played a role too. I've been waiting for Der TPK LP to arrive from Siltbreeze for the past 5 weeks now...
