Actually, the winning bid registers at the next highest increment over the second place bid; therefore the winning bidder may have outbid you by a substantially larger amount.


Hope that makes you feel better.;)

Losing only shows the winner was willing to pay a buck more than your bid. It doesn't show how much it would cost to pay a buck more than their maximum bid. You can't look at it as you only lost by a buck but that they were willing to pay more than you set your maximum bid for...

The best thing about eBay vs. live auctions is that you don't need an escort to get you safely off the property with eBay ;) .

On Hiatus. Really. Or Not.
Dobbs Fifth Avenue -- Size 8...!

With any luck this one -- like SO, SO, many I've seen fished from the Bay -- will have shrunk a size or two over time... But for $10 how could I lose??

This first photo HAS to be distorted! (Explaining the lack of bids?)
