I'm sooo sorry Karen! It's happened to me more 
times than I care to count. And it always stinks. 
But then you find something else down the line. 
Sometimes, even the same cel. It's happened to me 
a couple of times that I've been outbid or too 
slow at an update and a few months later, the 
original buyer lets it go or you find something 
even better. 

Take heart and good luck! ^_^
