In this particular case if you had set a smaller lead time then you would have lost the item. Sounds like you both set the same max bid but you won because you bid first.

Normally though... if someone is willing to pay more than you then you will lose... regardless of when you bid. I don't think it's right to set a max bid then get pissed at someone else because they set the same max bid... after all they just did what you did.

By the way... a bit of trivia... Can you tell me what 'Yahoo' (the website) stands for?
