<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 4999931, member: 80952&quot;]Never encountered personally this situation &quot;any other members had come across instances of auction houses spotting an unusually high bid and somehow putting in a high, albeit lower, bid themselves so as to force the price up.&quot;</p><p>Since pre-bids are anonymous, this wouldn&#039;t surprise me. </p><p><br /></p><p>What annoyed me, in several occasions, is something like the opposite situation. I would call it fat laptop situation</p><p>On a live bidding, exactly yesterday, I was preparing to bid on a cheap coin that I wanted, pre-bid was low and I would have won it.</p><p>The auction reached the mentioned lot, I was minding my own business and preparing to bid, and the browser decided to crash. </p><p>No need to say that until I reopened the browser and in the same time ran to my PC to open the website, the lot was already lost.</p><p>No idea since the laptop is quite new and well configured (I work in IT)</p><p>On other occasions, on the same blessed laptop, I clicked on &quot;bid&quot;... and clicked .... and clicked.... but this wasn&#039;t registered. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had in mind for a second that this is not a coincidence, but I prefer to think about what I managed to buy, not what I lost because of ... fat errors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
