Re: What is this???

Or, if bp100a was actually the seller using a different account, then, he could have been
shilling up the bid to get the max amount out of poor ol mcastle. But, luckily, mcastlel
had an odd max bid and bp100a took the prize, which was his to begin with. Now he pays,
insertion fee, percentage, etc.... too bad mcastlel. :-(

Then bp100a bid and bid and bid and realized that. Then for whatever reason, bp100a decided to shill the bidding up to find mcastle1's max without going over. OOPS! It seems that mcastle1's max bid did not end evenly on a multiple of 5 and bp100a got screwed (notice how bp100a bid $229.50 just to see if $230 was the max bid). I'll bet this is one bid that will not be honored. Just my humble interpretation.
