Hey Queenmum,

Did you bid with very little time left? It may be that they had it set up to automatically bid for them everytime a new, outside bid was made. Or, they could just be really good at getting those last second bids in, and I can't really tell you how on earth they do that, but it's happened to me before as well, and it is a horrible feeling.

QueenMum - we've all lost an auction or two in the last seconds, so don't feel bad! There's a site called www.esnipe.com which will bid automatically for you, but I don't know all the details. I have a fatalistic viewpoint, that if I'm not supposed to win something, I won't. Maybe that sounds odd, but it works for me.


ETA: The fees for using esnipe are:

Winning Bid - Your Cost

Auction wins for under $25 - $0.25
Auction wins between $25-$1,000 - 1% of auction price
Auction wins for $1,000 and over - $10.00

This is NOT an endorsement, just information.
