I lost a Sony auction! :(

I lost a Sony auction! :( I could've gotten a Handycam worth RM2,999 for less than half the price...

I went for the Sony Style members-only night with a friend just now. They had a lot of things going on there... special discounts, auctions, etc. I told him that if he sees me taking out my credit card, he has to stop me, because I honestly cannot afford to get another new gadget at the moment.

Anyway... initially he was just playing with the auction, raising his hand when he was way too far back to be noticed and to be counted. However when we got really close, I started raising my hand - because I wanted to buy that Handycam! Well, I have no idea what the model was but it sounded like a dead good deal. I'm just a videotaping freak... I got it at RM950 and someone outbided me. My friend glared at me and I decided not to push it above RM1,000 and let the other guy win.

Afterwards I was groaning on and on about how it was so worth it to pay RM1,000 for a Handycam worth almost RM3,000. Whereas my friend chided me and scolded me and said he didn't know what to do initially to stop me from bidding. And afterwards he shut his ears whenever I kept complaining.

Well, I suppose I could look at this way... that RM1,000 I did not spend could be put into a new Handycam model I really want.... Haha!!!
