Is Stamp Collecting an Adrenaline-Rush??

Anyone who says stamp collecting isn't an adrenaline-fueled hobby has not bid on a much desired item on eBay. 

Sitting at the computer for those last few minutes, eyes glued to the screen, pulse starting to quicken. Your hand clutches the mouse, finger trembling over the button, as you watch the timer click down. You type out your maximum bid, but you don't enter it yet. Not yet. You need to wait till the last possible second. Then your mind starts gnawing at you. Is my bid high enough? Should I go a little more? Perhaps if I place the bid now-- No! Have to wait.
30 seconds...
20 seconds...
10 seconds...
Heart pounding, you draw a quick, sharp breath. Press the Place Bid button...
Will I win?
Is the bid high enough?
Then...
You win!!!!!!!
Now if that doesn't get your pulse racing, nothing will...
