Beat me by a buck

Beat me by a buck

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.

Beat me by a buck
...

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...

beautiful, tiny Portis with a great liner and box

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 .

Yes. I was looking at that Portis too. Beautiful hat!

 

[Lefty]

Check out the liner on this one. I believe that this liner was involved in a lawsuit.

Knox suitcase/box for next to nothing

Good win. I almost put a bid in just to get the ancient double-frayed ribbon.

Missed on the Huckel, but scored on this Herbert Johnson:

British size 6 3/4 - the seller measured it as slightly less than 22".
