While you are patting yourself on the back, you might look at the other side. While someone is hoping to get an item on auction at a bargain price you are shouting to the world, "Hey look at this." I could only imagine at a live auction when someone was about to get an item at a steal, "Going once, Going twice." and then you shouting out, "Hey everybody, look at this."
