SWA giving me problems.....!

[peef]

So I put the first bid in for this
http://www.saltwaterauctions.com/ORA...uction_details
There was some back and forth action between some other bidders then I put my max bid in at like $25....
NOW it says that there are three people ahead of me with bids of $7.00 and that MY bid was only $5 bucks?!?!?!? What gives?

 

[clownfish11]

okay bro so just bid 9$ and it works out better for you

 

[peef]

Thats what I did. When you do the max bid it keeps it as low as possible but just sets the max you are willing to pay.....and to no avail.

 

[philip_r5]

Its because my max is higher then yours.

im thinkin about just biting the bullet and buying one out...the description makes it sound so tasty

 

[unleashed]

it works like the other auctions starting with an e
you place your bid then you place your highest bid it will increase the bid in small increments until the last bidder has reached his max highest bid.. say you have a max bid of 50 another bidder may have a max of 100.it will give you a chance to raise your max bid to beat his but it wont tell you how high his is.. does this make sense to you?

 

[peef]

Yes but I was already the highest bidder......! At least one of them since there are 5 items available. Then I tried to move my max bid up and it bid on a whole NEW item.....so now I have bid 30 on one and 25 on another instead of 30 on ONE of them..........
