Pulled Out Just in Time
An auction is won twice: once in the research, once at the moment you stop bidding.
The write-up opens inside a live, contested domain auction where the buyer's only real anchor is the valuation done that morning.
That pre-set number does the hard work: it brackets the ceiling before adrenaline starts bidding on its own.
As the price climbs, the discipline is not about winning the name but honoring the number you brought into the room.
Pulling out on time is an acquisition strategy, not a failure of nerve; the asset has a ceiling, and the market is allowed to exceed it.
The lesson applies to any serious domain buyer: know your exit before you enter, because the auction will not remind you.
