 If neither of them gets the item, then they were outbid by someone
 else.  Its an AUCTION.  That's what's supposed to happen.  The only
 reason he's griping about this is because he wants to get it "cheap".
 Clearly, other people (the high bidder in particular) feel
 differently.  Tough.  Its an AUCTION.  That's what's supposed to
 happen. 
Bleh.  In any real auction, the auctioneer would extend the bidding if
someone bid at the last second.
