Just click on the "Bid History" link to the right og the number of bids. You will see (with some interpretation) that the winner put in a bid of $1000 on 01/02, when the current high was $150. There were then six other bids that ran the total up to the $1,000 limit. The last bid was also $1000, but the winner's $1000 took precedence, since it was earlier. -----Original Message----- From: J.C.Wren [mailto:jcwren@jcwren.com] Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2003 6:54 PM To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Subject: RE: What am I missing here? I don't know how this would work, because when you place a bid on eBay, it will only show the amount necessary to beat a previous bid. Which means if this guy is running in $10 increments, someone had $990 on it. <snip>
