Item Sitting at $50 / I Would Have Bid $300

Yes, disappointing is probably the right word, in this instance.

It was a Heuer stopwatch, with two bids over the first tow days . . . sitting at around $50. I would have bid $300, but I was waiting until the end to snipe it. I am just imagining that someone "stole" this one for $75.
