Watching auctions throws me off. I've seen amazing cars go cheap at auction. Then I'll see the same type of car in worse condition selling on CL/ebay/etc... for twice as much.
I've been searching for my dream car for a long time and have lost a lot of time/weekends/gas/etc... with the same story of disappointment. Sometimes I think that if I had just bought the first POS and fixed it up, it would have cost me ~the same in all the expenditures but at least I would've been learning & enjoying it in my hands. Who knows but...I'm still searching.
Oh, and let's not overlook the dry eyes, carpel tunnel and lower back pain of sitting on the computer or squinting at smartphone for hours searching the web.
