how does an automatic bid not raise to its limit!

i put in a max bid that was higher than this winning bid. $3.50 higher. how did i not win after leading for the last hour? edited http://www.ebay.com/itm/300761723729?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649#ht_500wt_975

my auto bidding stopped $4 short of my max bid. i dont get it. i am happy though, i had a few cold ones in me when i bid my max.

 

That's something you should ask ebay about. We can't see your actual maximum bid.

 

not sure why but the coin looks like the ones i used to cook in the oven to get an idea of what AT toning was :S

 

Maybe your bid was cancelled by the seller.

 

i thought that, but i would have been notified by ebay had that happened, right?

 

if you were using autobid software like auctionstealer you could have lagged out if the time buffer was set too tight.

or

you didn't meet seller restrictions (feedback, ship to country etc)

 

Or the OP had a few too many "cold ones" when he placed his max bid and it was actually $4 under what he thought his max bid was.

 

If the OP was f***r then that $23 bid was the max bid If he had done a max bid of $27 it would have shown him as the high bid of $23.01 not $23. (One increment over n***a's max bid of $22.51) The $23 max bid was more than an increment over n***a's $22.00 bid which is why they allowed it to be less than an increment over n***a's $22.51 max bid. But if the f***r bid ha been more than $23 it would have gone to one increment over the $22.51 bid and would have shown him at $23.01. Since it didn't the $23 was the max bid.

 

IMO, by losing the auction, you actually won. That coin is AT dreck! I am gonna post a different toned 64 Kennedy just to get that image out of my head.

 

NICE!!!!!!! Definitely NOT AT dreck!!

 

Much nicer looking than the one in the eBay listing.
