... in your $150 bid vs. your $130 win scenario ... you were speculating that a shill bidder was involved ... but you have no actual proof ... just suspicions.
Instead of being happy that you were able to get the item for $20 less than your bid ... you lament that an unconfirmed mystery 'shill bidder' "screwed" you out of $29. I guess I just don't follow that logic.
"Bid what you are willing to pay and you'll never get screwed by a shill bidder".
I'm done.
