Looks like the first bidder had a max bid of $30 and someone kept bidding in small increments until $31.77.

If someone has a higher Max Bid then you and you place a bid it will say "You have been outbid" and every single time it counts as a normal bid from whoever had the Max Bid. No other name will appear as a bidder unless they go Higher then the Max Bid of the first bidder. Kinda confusing no worries. Sometimes I don't get it myself.  -GO Edited by GO

If I got it right, you mean that this pexe1216 guy was trying to bid starting from $1 but whatever his bid was, it wasn't placed in the bid history except when it reached $31.77 which is higher than the Max bid of the first bidder. Thanks a lot graceoutcast I was just starting to think that the first bidder either had some extra money that he dont know what to do with or has just gone crazy.  Thanks  |

Your 1st bidder placed a maximum bid of $30 dollars, instead of having to bid $30, ebay will bid for him automatically until a bid exceeds $30. This keeps him from having to sit as his computer all day, and still gives him the lowest possible price if he wins! |

That's about right. His bids never really counted because it was always outbid until 31$.

Yes ebay can be confusing I once outbid myself I had like 300 max bid and the second bidder was only 240 and then on the moment of closing ebay grabbed my 300 which was the hidden reserve and I felt like a fool paying for 300 were the second bidder was only 240 That was the last time in my life I gave ebay my maximum bid before 20 seconds before the end  That is called sniping |
