I have to outbid myself by $4 and then someone else can outbid me by $0.01?    Seems like someone has a broken auction site that is screwing the people selling and the people buying.      

 

What do people here say?

 

 

Looks like the problem with their system may be the $75 bid, that should not have occurred.   IF you take that away then it all makes some kind of sense where the other bidder was going $5 each step of their bid above _themselves_...   but that doesn't make a lot of sense either...

I agree that looks suspicious.  I have heard this as well from other people that site that is seemed obvious to them they were being bid up by those running the site.  (I have never used the site personally.)
