The Auction ended at 7pm PDT (3am in the UK!) and your snipe arrived 54 secs before the end. Subsequently, 2 other bidders also managed to snipe before the end. Your gripe is that AS left a window for these other guys to bid, upping the final price by $10.
It remains to be seen if AS or eBay's servers were running slowly last night - if that was the case then that would explain the early arrival of your snipe although it doesn't explain why two other snipers were able to place snipes as close as 5 seconds from the end.
The fact that zekerd was able to fire off 3 bids in 19 seconds does rather point to him/her having sniping software but it does look like either human or machine was trying to beat you by 'nibbling' up to the line.
I guess we need Sara to explain what really happened. Cue drum roll...
