Lincoln64, what is even stranger is that your bid doesn't show up on the actual auction at all. Here is the direct link to the biddinghistory on that item:

It looks like your bid was not accepted, as it never shows up in the history.The other option is that the seller cancelled your bid because of the 0 feedback rating.
In answer to your question about how the winning bidder could show up three days later, the only thing I can think of is a glitch in a snipe program. Perhaps the bidder set up the snipe on the 11th with instructions not to actually place the bid until the 14th? I could see how the date could show as the date the snipe was initially set up. It's still wrong, but at least it's understandable.
