OK here's my question. I think I proxy bid $280 on an item the other day,
was watching TV and forgot the sale was ending, went on line to check out
the results. Found out I was out bid by someone that bid $275.07. I
checked the bid history and it confirms I bid $280. How did someone get it
for $275.07? I was going to call the next day and ask the good folks at
GSA, but I dealt with enough crap at work that day and didn't want any more
from them. Any thoughts?
