Reply to "Lost Bid"

chatterMember

At the risk of starting another rampage from soneone who might SWEAR that the winning bid did not appear until after the auction ended, I can tell you that the winning bid DID appear in the bidding history while the auction was going on; you simply overlooked it. We get this scenarion rather frequently and it pretty much always ends the same way.

In your case, since there was a reserve in play which was not met, it may have been even easier to overlook the bid, especially since losing bid amounts are not posted until the very end.

This is a reminder to always bid unusual amounts, such as $45.56, to minimize the chance than an earlier bid of the same amount will beat you. I don't even use one or two cents more than the dollar; I go for unusual amounts, as above.
