Here is the auction:
The following table has been reorganized and sorted into date order. First
bid placed is line #1. That should make it easier to follow the auction.
Two additional columns have been calculated and added. They are the current
bid and high bidder, as displayed on eBay after each bid is placed. v2.1.08
* = Winning bid. (may be less than actual maximum entered.)

2 judyandstu 10.00 14-Jun 15:31:15 10.50 djgillstudio
End 14-Jun 15:31:27 Because of the 'Proxy' bidding system at eBay, only enough of a max bid is used to get/stay in the lead. The winning bidders max could have been $25 or more. There is no way to tell. After their bid the current price was 6.95 (opening amount), so that makes your bid for $10 valid, because it was at least one bid increment above.
Here is what the auction would have looked like with the additional bid you mentioned.

End 14-Jun 15:31:27 In this last example, addedbidder's bid would have been rejected by eBay as an invalid bid but I cheated and entered it anyway. the $7.00 bid would not have been recorded because it's not a full increment above the current price of 6.95, but an $8 bid would have been valid resulting in a current price of $8.50 in line 2
