You've overpaid, the auction house should not be profiting from people fraudulently bidding up the price. You should be paying $1 more than the next highest genuine bidder.
that is what i was told, what i ended up paying was less then the end price i bid: eg i bid "say" $1000 and the other person bid something else to win, i then was ask to purchase for @ $750 which i agreed, BUT who knows what influence the other bidding did to push it up ?
so in this example and this is speculation as it was some time ago and i have NO records of the event except i now own the domain.
if the fake bidder bids at $200 that is going to spark some interest ( it wasn't an AMA ) , another bidder bids at $500 but i still feel the $200 bid has reference to the final bid in the auction competition.
So if we look at rugs dot com au we could speculate that the end price could have been far different.
i know we are not going to get this answer but itwould be VERY interesting to see if the NF $22222 bid was from the underbidder and now owner of RUGS
i mean , isn't this part of why we are on DNT !
maybe NF could post it in the private forum, that would be NICE
