Program error?

39912 2 0

I would be happy to send you a screen shot of this, but I was bidding on an auction which closed, yet Bidslammer still said was not closed and had 12 hours to go. I refreshed the times, etc, same result.

In any case according to my Bidslammer page, I had time to go, and was above the winning bid. Ebay on the other hand said the auction was closed and that another bidder had won the auction.

Help...

Hello Scott,

We got in two simultaneous snipes for $99.99 for you --- the value that was in our database at the time of the snipe. Unfortunately at that time, the cost was $118.50 so you didn't win.

You did find a bug, it appears that our software let you change the bid amount after the auction closed. We'll fix it right away. (We re-wrote our software about a year ago, and it looks like this bug was introduced at that time.)

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about this. Please let us know if we can help further.
