Not wanting for the thing from an online live auction?

I was watching a live auction tonight when my husband came in and watched with me. I only watch for fun. Something was shown that I told my husband I really like and mentioned what I thought it was, as in, history of it. He thought I meant I wanted it and typed in a bid, and won. Okay, the bid is not a huge amount, but I do not want it. I already inherited similar things from my mom and it was not something I wanted more of. He completely misunderstood me. Should I offer to pay a small amount and tell them I do not want it, but need to make good for it? Or should I just tell them I do not want it? or just suck it up and pay for it and maybe give it away?

 

edited to add: I am thinking maybe I should just email the guy and explain the situation and see what he says. Not sure if anyone has any other suggestions or has dealt with this before.

Honestly, I would keep it and treasure it for no other reason than my husband did something sweet with the sole intent of putting a smile on my face.

yep!
