That is how I ended up with Gump. Some idiot was not willing to bid more than I had said I would five days before the auction closed. Why in the world would you not bid $151 for Gump, and leave me stuck with the thing at $117?

Dennis, that's proper and the way Ebay works on a non reseve auction..
Buyer put in a bid for say 5K days ago. Each time a bidder put in a
number, lets say  4.5K, the winner's bid is always on top up to the
5K.

Maybe this winner put in 6K as a max (who knows) but time ran out and
he won at the lower price.

This is all legitimate and what makes for good deals if you have
sniper software or can bid in the last 5 seconds.

I got my 380SL the same way. I had put in 6K but outbid everyone else
and bought it for 4,900 in the lst 5 seconds.

Reseve auctions are different.

Group,

Does this ebay bidding look legitimate? Why would a buyer out bid themselves
on the day of closing?
