<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 34433, member: 669&quot;]Tony, you&#039;re forgetting that in order to be &quot;BAM outbid&quot;, there must have been a higher proxy bid entered before yours.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s not typical shill bidder tactics.&nbsp; Usually they go up one or two increments at a type, probing for the real bidder&#039;s maximum, and hoping that if they pass him, he&#039;ll take one more shot.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wasn&#039;t shilling the time I was first bidder on one of those 99¢ starting bid auctions, for a 19th Century silver coin that I really wanted.&nbsp; After I bid, the auction showed me in the lead with a 99¢ bid, even though my actual bid was $75.&nbsp; Shortly before closing my bid was showing as somewhere around $25.&nbsp; Three snipers showed up in the closing seconds, but they didn&#039;t want the coin as much as I did, so I was the winner at a little under $70. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
