Reply to "outbid by earlier bidder?"

Steve (Guest)

I wasn't onto that little gimmick. Ron, star_trkr has the right answer. The winning bid, a proxy, was put in 6 days earlier and was higher even at that time than your last-second bid. When that happens eBay will show the date and time that the winning bid was entered, regardless of any other bids that followed. This is one of those situations where a sniper can't win because his bid is lower than an earlier proxy bid. You'll never know how much that bid really was unless the winner is kind enough to tell you upon inquiry. Better luck next time, and remember that particular bidder since he's likely to bid like that again.
