oh i wouldnt be too hard on urself. You purchsed at THE most expensive time of the year.
Plus sometimes the transfer market is just like that. When i made my recent SF purcahse, I did all this research, and ended up having 25 guys bookmarked, ready bid on them if the first one in the list went over my preferred price.
so what happens of course? I win the bid on the first guy....
i mean.. great for me... but the amount of times ive done that in the past, bookmarked 10 or so guys and then ended up missing out on all of them.... yer.
so meh sometimes it happens. we are all guilty of over paying at some stage.
