POLL: Do you prefer our auction on our website or Ebay?

Once the auction is over you cannot see the winning bidder. As far as I can tell, I was the highest bidder which you can see above at $250 which POTO just said it sold for...

Actually, turned out that someone bought the item at asking to end the auction. Sorry I missed it just catching up on some of the orders that came in. I'll see if we have more.

So having just bid in my first auction on your site, my only feedback would be that it would be nice to see the winning bid. As far as I could tell my bid was the highest all the way through 0:00 time on the life saver acans yet I lost and can't see who beat me or at what price. Kinda anti-climatic to not even see the outcome but that was fun otherwise!

Have you ever had an action go above the buy it now price like that? Lol

I thought for sure a proxy vote at the 199 buy it now price would be good but even lost at my final bid of $250. Gee wiz.

Wow, a $199 bid on a $250 product would win the auction most times. I too would like to know the price at which I lost. If not, it has an appearance of a shady business action

We strive to provide a fair and pleasant auction experience and we welcome your scrutiny. To answer your question, someone bought out the item at asking price (which was $199) before the auction ended using the Buy It Now option, that's why the highest bidder (with a leading bid of $250) didn't win. I'm pretty sure once someone saw that the highest bid was over the buy out price, he might as well just buy it at that point and effectively ending the auction. We hope this answers your question.
