YEs, but you don't know how high the winning bidder was prepared to go 
either. He might have gone way higher than you were prepared to pay.

I remember once at a physical auction I picked up some bit of hardware 
for the opening bid of \pounds 1.00. Mentioning this to a friend who came 
in later, he said that he would have outbid me on that. I then pointed 
out that I would have gone to something like \pounds 100 if necessary....
