Sniper Bill (Guest)

Smart:
A. User A was only the high bidder before siweb bid. After that siweb was the high bidder until User B sniped an amount greater than siwebs snipe. Remember (and this is critical), siwebs max snipe was hidden via the proxy bid system. User B had no idea what siwebs snipe amount was. User B may have been sniping $1000 for all we know.

B. The last bid won this auction because it was the highest bid, NOT because it was the last bid. This is a classic example 'circulus in probando' (circular reasoning). "The last bid won in this case, so all wins must be the last bid." Obviously this is flawed thinking.

I think it is time to breakout our tips sheet, which should help clarify some of the confusion:
