Am I crazy, or is there something odd here?
In one of the major auction houses ending this week I had bids in on two items, also including maximum bids. Note: The pieces were both of the same player, from two different teams.
On the first item, let's call it "Gamer A" I was the
high bidder at $322 with a high bid at $690
On the second item, let's call it "Gamer B" I was the
high bidder at $220 with a maximum bid at $389
The following events took place yesterday
At 1:21:37 PM "Gamer A" was bid up to $389
At 1:21:52 PM "Gamer A" was bid up to $471
At 1:22:08 PM "Gamer A" was bid up to $570
At 1:22:23 PM "Gamer A" was bid up to my maximum of $690 But Not Over, leaving me as the high bidder
Seconds later
At 1:22:39 PM "Gamer B" was bid up to $266
At 1:22:42 PM "Gamer B" was bid up to $322
At 1:22:59 PM "Gamer B" was bid up to my maximum of $389 But Not Over, leaving me as the high bidder
As an experiment, I increased by maximum high bid on "Gamer B" to $835
Guess what happened today
At 3:38:20 PM "Gamer B" was bid up to $471
At 3:38:23 PM "Gamer B" was bid up to $570
At 3:38:26 PM "Gamer B" was bid up to $690
At 3:38:42 PM "Gamer B" was bid up to my maximum of $835 But Not Over, leaving me as the high bidder
There have been no additional bids on "Gamer A"
Now am I crazy, or does this seem very convenient that my bids keep going up to my max but not over? Granted both gamers are of the same player- so it is possible someone else out there is a fan of the player, wants these two items and put bids in on both. Because that is a possibility, and we're only talking about 3 instances of the item getting bid to my maximum, I have not included the name of the auction house because honestly I'm not sure if what I think might be happening is actually happening.
Can I get a reality check here?
