outbid by "hidden" bidder

themavenMember

I sniped an item at 9 seconds before the end... BUT I lost!!! My price was a "good" number (82.17) but the winning bid was 83.17! What's even more odd was that the time of his bid was 5 days BEFORE mine. Also, as far as I can see that was his ONLY bid on this auction (i.e. I checked the list of all the bids and the "winner" did not have any earlier bids showing).
Ques: How is all this possible?
