An example would be Ebay

Many times people see items on there at far less than what they would usually pay in the shop, they bid and towards the end get outbid.

Now they wanted this item and the fact that it is now creeping towards the shop price doesn't seem to matter, overlooking to additional costs of postage too.

Im not saying you do this by the way as I'm sure that you will say that you dont, but I bet many on here have "over paid" for an Item because they wanted it
