You should also take into consideration that the time you spend sitting in EC is time you could be spending leveling up your character and collecting increasingly valuable loot. That single roll might actually end up costing you precious plat in the long run.
Second of all, you need to ask yourself if not allowing the casters in your group to loot a potentially BiS item is worth your reputation. One or more of the people who watched you do that might never want to group with you again, even if they didn't need the item. Pixel lust is certainly one of the ways that I gauge a person's character on P99. That one moment might have cost you a lot of future groups with cool people who would have allowed you to loot whatever you needed, no questions asked. That's how my buddies and I roll. You do something decent for us and we pay you back tenfold.
You might also be giving an item to an unappreciative person, but I'd rather err on the side of 'doing the right thing' because it feels good to rise above the pixel lust by letting go of all attachment to a potentially big-ticket item.
