I've never had good luck on the Blake, always get outbid, so put in a semi-serious bid fully expecting to get outbid at the end, but didn't. One guy went up to 40. My bid was 41. Guess I shoulda put in a max of 39.99!
Oh well, I overpaid. I'm glad to have it at last. sometimes "good luck" just means being willing to overpay. Preparation meeting opportunity, as it was. Seems like bad luck to me, but..whatever gets it, I guess.
Hopefully The Blue Potato will not be so resistant to sanity the next time it comes along. That's another one that has yet to like my bids and might need to be money-whipped into surrender...
