Hey guys. Forgive my ignorance but Ive never came across this before . I had an auction end and was surprised to see that I had 19 bids on the item in literally the last few seconds....but the amount never changed. I checked out the bid history, and its the same bidder for like 17 of the bids for the same dollar amount? How is this possible? Thanks in advance. I can post a link to the auction if necessary, I dont want to offend the winner of the auction though (If they are on this board) Sam

He was probably bidding more in case somebody tried to out bid him last minute. Only his original bid would be honored until someone else places their bid.

what had happen was that the person that bidded 19 times in a row has just placed higher bids to ensure he wins. as far as that the dollar amount doesnt change.
so example the auction is at a $1.00 i bid $2, he bids $3 out bids me. and then Bids say $10 no matter what the bid will remain on $3 unless someone trys to out bid him hope that helped! |

If he bid 17 times, that guy was really really paranoid. I've seen this happen before, as well as several last second (almost literally, more like last 10 seconds) bids thrown in to oust the bid I've had for quite some time. Kind of disappointing, but its an auction, that's how it works.
