Did I Get Shilled????

Chill Darren, it's just random snipe stuff. I've won auctions by 1 cent and lost them by 1 cent. I even lost with the highest bid once, because someone made the same exact bid to the penny two seconds before me.

Be happy you bid just enough to win. It's better than being a dollar short.

+1. Years ago I sniped $99.99 on a 1968 Kahn’s Fergie Jenkins and the winning bid was $100.00, I’m sure the winning bidder was cussing me out and suspicious of my authenticity.

I think you just got sniped. I don't use a snipe service but I do place bids in the last seconds. Win some, Lose some. And I always bid odd amounts like $38.62 or 27.27. Just don't know why I do that.

I also manually place last second bids with an odd amount of cents because I know others do the same thing. I think it's just one of those things that happens and nothing nefarious.

Ha...I do to...I always end with .79...I guess now I have to end with .89 as I am sure I have competed with a few of you guys!

Would agree while frustrating, I don't smell anything definitely fishy. I don't wait out a lot of auctions anymore, but when I used to that kind of things happened to me all the time. I will end most as others have indicated with weird high bid amounts in the cents..($0.01, $0.99...) but sometimes I will still get barely beat out. Just depends on how popular whatever it is remains going down to the wire...

Haha so does Darren. He says "Who would bid an oddball amount like $46.89?" at the same time he's bidding $47.88.

Like I understand someone bidding 47.88 but 46.89? That's crazy!

I bid odd amounts too. I usually end in .57.

looks like I'll have to randomize my snipe amounts... I'm the .13 cents guy.

Yeah agree here, it was a snipe, not a shill. BTW, what's a good sniping service to use??
