Subject: What Is This All About??

Go up one level in this thread


in looking over the final bidders list i see that the winning bidder outbid
himself?

this dosent look right to me

when a winning bidder places an additional bid to cover his previous bid(with a
new max bid) then this is only invoked if someone pushes him over into the new
max

but here we see that the winners  original bid placed on Sept 8 was good enough
to sustain all of the bids that came after
so why does he now appear twice as both the winning bidder and the second place
bidder?

perhaps because the third bidder pushed the winner into the new max?
but in that case i think his first bid should still hold and not have to have
the new max invoked??
