Along these lines, I did a silent auction several years ago for a DU goose print that was up for auction at Dick's Sporting Goods. I bid $150.01. When the guy called me to tell me that I had won the framed print, he told me that I had won by 1 penny. Several people had bid $150 and there would have been a tie breaker but for my $0.01 added to that $150. Made me feel good. Reminds me of a clays tournament that I was shooting. They had a side game going where they were throwing 3 pairs of minis right along a pond just barely over the surface. These things were humming. Anyway, the guy throwing the targets was telling me that there were several people that had broke 5 of the 6 and that if I broke 5 of the 6 I would be involved in the shootoff. So, I proceeded to break 6 out of 6 and I heard the thrower say "That is interesting". I then went over to the 2 man flurry with my shooting partner and we broke 48 out of the 50 targets and took 1st place in that one too. I walked out of there with somewhere close to $100 and my shooting buddy said they might shoot me as I left (i.e., I was from 3 counties north and they didn't take too kindly to a northern boy coming down and cleaning up). Won the flurry again the next year, but they didn't have the 6 minis game. LOL Some days you'll lose by a penny and some days you'll win by a penny. Don't get discouraged.
