Its so funny you said about going to a real auction. Its always so hard to lose something you really had your heart set on. You do get over it though.
I know I went to my first auction back in 00 for my major. I was doing a Interior Design internship and we were decorating this couples house in antiques, they said it had to be antiques. Anyways there were these 2 paintings that this auction was having and they sent me to go get them. Bad idea lol. I had no clue about auctions. I was used to ebay then, but had never been at a real one. I knew we only could spent so much and I was sad to see it go WAY up past that. Needless to say I didnt get it and my boss was upset, but she realized we may have lost it and she took me to another auction that weekend to show me exactly how to bid and some tricks, not that they work if someone has much more than you to spend.
Only thing I can really think of, if you REALLY want a pin because of something that means so much to you from your chapter, for a diamond sister, or something, Id email the seller. It may not always be a nice email you get back, but at least you tried all you could. A diff sister may want that pin for the same exact reason and saved more money to get it. You can try to get them to back down and you can send them an email, but thats about all you can you. It is a online auction and you do win some and you do lose some.
