I sent you a PM about the current badge in question, but to address it in general...
I personally try to not outbid my sisters, unless it is an item I very much want in my heart and am willing to pay ($$$) for. Otherwise, I try to hold back. I only just learned that I could contact IO and ask about the badges they have for sale. Before that, I had bid a lot on a sapphire and gold badge, failed to win, but still, I know I was bidding against sisters.
To me, this is a question that each person can really only answer. What type of person are you (I mean you generally, not you specifically)? Are you out to win everything at all costs, and don't mind who gets stepped on? Or is it a case of you being someone willing to step aside for another's sake, and you are just bidding up a specific item because you truly want it? The first person is someone I would feel badly for, that maybe they cannot appreciate the bonds of sisterhood. The second is someone I would be happy to call my sister, knowing that we would each put the other first whenever we could, but still able to tell the other when something is important to one.
I know this does not really answer your question, but it was the best I could do.
