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? On Thursday, March 23, 2006, at 06:17 PM, Desert Rat wrote:

Group, Does this ebay bidding look legitimate? Why would a buyer out bid themselves on the day of closing? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=4622840080rd= 1sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AITrd=1 Dennis T -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free

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

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. You maximum bid bears no resemblance to the winning bid, unless there is a second-place bid to drive yours up towards your maximum (modulo the bid increment). EBay automatically

That's up to the Seller. He/she can have a private auction so the ID's wouldn't show. The are both good and bad reasons to go this way. This was an open auction so all bidders are shown. On 3/23/06, John Berryman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mar 23, 2006, at 9:28 PM, Desert Rat wrote: There

Well the bidding on the part of the winner is OK. if you put out your max bid ahead of time, you' ll get outbid everytime. I always outbid myself near the end right down to sniping myself at the last second just to make sure ( and usually about 10 other bids slip in between ) On the other
