At two in the morning Central time, I was outbid with a new total around $570.00. Two minutes later, I got another e-mail stating that a bid was retracted, making me the current winner (because, the bidder stated "unable to contact seller" AT TWO O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING?!) Then a couple of minutes later, the same bidder placed another bid that didn't beat my max bid. Obviously, they were trying to feel out my max bid. Near the end of the auction, I was beaten again, I won once more, then subsequently THAT bidder retracted their previous bid (to bring the total down) and finally won with a lower top price because her retraction let me temporarily win with my first, not second and higher bid. Got all that?

"Got all that?" - I'm not sure.

But, and I know this isn't your issue, aren't you a little concerned that you have a shill bidder on your hands?
