I recently made a stupid mistake.

I am a causal domainer and have about 100 domain names. I haven't done much with them and have decided that I probably should get rid of some.

Someone made an offer on extremecoupon.com at Sedo and I hastily pushed it to auction. I haven't been paying attention to my parking income, and it turns out that this domain is making $400+/month:

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

What are my options?
Is there any way for me to honestly and gracefully recover from this?
Or is my only hope to promote like crazy and to treat this as a life lesson?

I only have 1 day and a half left until the auction ends!
It is currently at $860, which is only two months parking income.

Thanks for any advice!
Kevin

Not trying to make any accusations but I wonder if this is just some scam for people to bid on this domain.

I also considered that, particularly since this is the OP's first post..

I can see that you would think that.
But I am honestly kicking myself and don't know what else to do.
I would like to hear any suggestions people may have.

I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the domain.
Send screenshots of my account...
Send a scan of last month's check...
Other than that, I am not sure what else I can do.

Sedo does list the following info on the auction page:
Visitors to this Sedo Listing*:

128

Unique Visitors per month*:

3.002

Here is a link to the May 2011 breakdown:

Please do let me know if you have any questions, or advice.

Seriously, is there any information I can provide that would help?
