Chris,

I think you can take your hairshirt off :)  According to the bidding list,  
the first bid was by caz4 at 4:34 PDT, and you didn't place your first bid  
until 6:11 PDT.  Remember, the bidder list is sorted by bid amount, not by  
bid time.  So, you can blame caz4 for either a) not getting it him/herself at  
a good price or b) leaving it alone for someone else :)
