congrats , that was good price,  with respect to the bidding you are right
...throw some extra pennies on that bid, you will never notice it and they will
come in handy once a while ...

also .. we do know for sure  that the winning bid relected the top bids for both
bidders -> they both bid the exact same amount -- winnings bid that are tied
reflect the top bids from both bidders...230.03 would have won here by either
bidder ...
