In the end I was glad I lost,because I got caught up in a craze and left my common sense at the door.
Sometimes,I think it's more about beating the other person than it is about getting the item for a good price.For a moment I lost my grip on reality by bidding way more than I had planned to.

Very true! I sell alot on eBay and many times I can tell by the ridiculous bidding amounts that the bidding was fueled by emotion. Good for me, though! Figure on your highest bid and let it go. I sometimes have to resist the temptation to get caught up in the bidding. That's why is use that service. I put in my highest bid and forget about it.
