AS bid made 20minutes early + strange bid history

denispibMember

An AS bid of mine was made 20mins (to the
second) before the end of an auction - pretty
hopeless as a snipe !

Also I spotted the following in the bid history
of an item that I failed to get...
Item was 5126563600
It ended : 03-Oct-04 11:41:05 BST

The top four entries on the bid history were:
Bidder A £45.05 03-Oct-04 11:29:03 BST
Bidder B £45.05 03-Oct-04 11:41:01 BST
Bidder C £39.44 03-Oct-o4 11:40:53 BST
Bidder D £35.05 02-Oct-04 22:08:07 BST

Bidder A won the item ?
[ my max was £45.25 - rats

]

What I don't understand is that the system
appears to have accepted a bid from Bidder C
that was lower than the prevailing price
of the item...It also seems strange that the
amounts for bidders A & B are exactly the same.

From the timings it looks like both bidders
B and C could have been snipes - bidder A
clearly wasn't...

Cheers
