Reply to "outbid by "hidden" bidder"

let's see if we can try this ONE more time.
First, my credentials...
I fully understand PROXY bidding. I have been bidding on ebay for two years. I am a long time sniper. I win 75% of the time.
My "problem" with this auction is as follows.
Let's use a hypothetical case. Auction #000001 has a widget being sold. The bidding begins on July 1 1:00:00 and ends on July 5 11:59 PM. Bidder "A" bids $1 on July 1. Bidder "B" bids $10 on July 1. Proxy bidding puts in a bid for $2. Bidder "C" tries to snipe and bids $8 at 11:58:51 PM (9 seconds before the end) but he LOSES to bidder "B" whose bid comes in now at $9 with a date time of July 1. When checking the bids one would expect to see the following list:
B $9 July 1 1:02:00
C $8 July 5 11:58:51
B $2 July 1 1:02:00
A $1 July 1 1:01:00
All this is perfectly FINE.
But let's say the list of bidders is as follows:
B $3 July 1 1:02:00
C $2 July 5 11:58:51
A $1 July 1 1:01:00
Would THIS list be OK???
