I didn't win the auction. There were no other bids or watchers when I bid, and I'm usually a sniper (bidding at the last second). This time, someone else pulled the trigger pretty much at the exact same second and outbid me. *sigh*

There goes that idea.

ETA:

So I was sitting here pouting and thinking of all the time spent hunting a yellow jacket and all the outfits I was so excited to wear. The same jacket was still out there with measurements and with returns allowed. It was not quite as bonkers of a deal as the one I missed out on, but it is still 50% off retail. So... I nabbed it. I really hope it works, but if not at least I won't be burning inside wondering what if...
