I'd be happy to print the auction for you, but you already seem to realize (almost) what happened. What was the current price after your bid? I doubt very much the winner bid in response to yours. I guess it's possible, but not likely.
The winners bid was probably planned well in advance, just like yours was. What if someone bid 5 seconds before you did with a max $25 above current price. Would they be making the same claim about you winning because their bid was place to early?
Re multiple bids on the same auction... I have to agree with AS policy. To be fair, any snipe placed before auction end should be accepted (just like at ebay). Otherwise, we would all have to be at our computers every hour of the day.
Not much comfort, but at least you know the winner paid to much. It's very rare that a similar or identical item doesn't show up again soon.
Luck to ya, and WELCOME.
