two bids came in after me at 34 sec each
I’m probably going to agree with region2, or he’ll agree with me, on this. Seeing that those 2 bids have the same timestamp, it’s likely it was a sniping service (I warned you about posting the auction number), such as AS, which has multiple servers that place multiple snipes. Typically ebay won’t accept more than one bid from the same bidder for the same amount, but there has been times when an AS sniper will post that ebay recorded up to 4 bids for them, all with the same time stamp, all for the same amount. For a manual bidder to react to your snipe, they would have to have at least two computers and both of them would have to be set to snipe, and the enter key would have to be pressed concurrently on both pc’s. I suppose it’s possible – but then, anything is “possible”, but that doesn’t mean it’s “likely”.
