MTS transferring issues

Alright, yesterday I was transferring equips between worlds through the MTS by using the "wanted" feature. However, some of my equips couldn't be put up as wanted, so I set up an auction for that equip (with a low starting bid) and bid on it, thinking that I could accept that bid. It turns out I can't. I also can't take it off the MTS because "that auction already has 1 or more bid on it." Is there any way to save both my money and my equip, or am I screwed over to paying the actual price by this trifecta of MTS fails?

note: It's not the end of the world if I have to pay the actual price for it. I highly doubt it's worth more than 5k NX, and I can transfer the NX back afterwards.
