Yup. They got me. I was bidding on a dedicated Mortal Kombat 4 on Ebay. The price was $500. I bid $500. I was the only bidder for about 3 days and then upped my bid to $1000 because I wanted to make sure I won it. When the auction was over, there was only ONE more bid for a total of 3....right at my high bid of $1000.
Seems to me that if someone was trying to figure out my high bid, there would have been more bids than just one, which just happened to be the exact amount of my high bid. Looks like this might be one of those sellers who has a separate account and bids on his own stuff to get more money. I got screwed out of $500. This is the first time this has happened to me. I could do nothing about it and just went ahead and paid, but I'm not happy.
Thoughts?
