Paul Davis '82 FC35 auction on e-bay a hoax !!

[snuffyx1946]

If you go to the completed item on e-bay and click on the "bids" you
will see that you actually were outbid twice at the end of the
auction. I also see that enzofan bid earlier in the auction. I
don't see any fraud here. What I see is a classis case of what E-
BAY calls "sniping". Those are last second bidders, not last
minute, last second. I know that if I find an item I really want I
bid as late as I possibly can. I know that it feels bad to be
outbid at the last second, but it is totally legal according to e-
bay rules. Sometimes you win, somtimes you lose.
