I'm wishing I just paid the premium in December and gotten over with it.
I've changed my approach to buying other things in light of this, I've lost out bidding for stuff I wanted because I set reasonable price limits but recently I've decided that I want the item more than the money in my account as the pain of loss is greater. So now I have bought even going over previous limits, so within reason I now buy the item, not the price. Obviously harder to do with expensive watches but principal is the same.
