When you think you're going to lose both auctions but...

I found it the first issue of Rom for a good while now but I have a price point that I won't go above. Whenever I see it on auctions with no starting price I always throw a buck or two on it and usually get outbid. Imagine my surprise when I get alerts back to back saying I won! Plus issue 2 and 3 on top of it. All together 40 bucks with shipping.
